Morphology and GC-MS analysis of stink gland volatile compounds in knock-down beetles of 178 identified genes in 3rd phase of iBeetle.

The genes are listed by the iBeetle-number with genes also identified in transcriptomics analyses indicated in bold (color code respective to Fig 3). The morphological phenotype depiction is given in Fig 1 (color code respective to Fig 1I). In the GC-MS analysis, the analyzed substances were 2-Methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (MBQ) and 2-Ethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (EBQ), as well as 1-Pentadecene (1-C15) and 1-Heptadecene (1-C17). Column L (Venn Fig 2A) indicates the color code for extraction of the data to generate Fig 2A. The further analyzed gene laccase2 (iB_12548; Tc_010490) is indicated by italics and grey background.
