Antennal transcriptome of cryptolestes turcicus

cryptolestes turcicus (grouvelle) is a major stored pest of grain products throughout in China. To investigate the chemical communication mechanism of the adults is make great contribution to find a better way to control them. Identifing the olfactory genes is the first step.

土耳其筒谷盗（Cryptolestes turcicus (Grouvelle)）是我国谷类制品的主要仓储害虫。探究该虫成虫的化学通讯机制，对开发更有效的防控手段具有重要价值，而鉴定其嗅觉相关基因正是开展此项研究的首要步骤。
