Atrijuglans hetaohei head transcriptome raw sequence reads

Atrijuglans hetaohei Yang (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea), is one of the major pests that can reduce the quality and yield of walnuts and seriously damage the walnut forest leading to harvest loss. A. hetaohei larvae can drill into the walnut fruits, which makes it more difficult to prevent. Although the morphology and physiology of A. hetaohei have been widely studied, the underlying molecular mechanism of development, reproduction, behavior and feeding is still not well understood. In the present study, we sequenced the transcriptome of the head tissue of A. hetaohei adult in both male and female using the Illumina HiSeq(TM) 4000 sequencing platform, which is expected to provide the basis for further studies on target gene functions in this important pest.
