Role of UGT344J7 in the response of the bird cherry-oat aphid to starvation and high temperature stress

The response of insects to stress, particularly starvation and high temperature stress, is a crucial area of insect research. Uridine diphosphate-glucosyltransferases (UGTs) are key enzymes involved in the detoxification of exogenous substances. This study analyzed the role of the UGT344J7 gene in the response of Rhopalosiphum padi to starvation and high temperature stress. UGT344J7 was significantly upregulated under conditions of high temperature and food scarcity. Following RNAi targeting UGT344J7, the mortality of R. padi increased significantly under both high temperature and starvation conditions. Knockdown of the UGT344J7 gene led to a significant increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in R. padi, accompanied by a significant downregulation of four heat shock protein genes (Hsp70-1, Hsp70-2, Hsp68, Hsp90). Based on these results, we speculate that UGT344J7 regulates the expression of heat shock protein genes by modulating ROS levels, thereby helping R. padi cope with hi..., , # **Role of UGT344J7 in the response of the bird cherry-oat aphid to starvation and high temperature stress**

We have submitted the raw data and processed data for Figure1 (Relative expression levels of UGT344J7), Figure2 (RNA interference efficiency), Figure3 (Mortality of R. padi under different treatments), Figure4 (Relative expression levels of Hsp genes), Figure5 (The ROS content), FigureS1 (The relative expression of 43 UGT genes after prolonged high temperature treatment), FigureS2 (Mortality under normal conditions following injection of dsRNA). We mainly used RT-qPCR, RNAi interference, and ELISA to study the role of UGT344J7 in the response of the bird cherry-oat aphid to starvation and high temperature stress. The following is a description of the data set.
