16S rRNA Metagenomic Profiling of Bacterial Communities in Nilaparvata lugens Under Transgenerational Insecticide Exposure

This project investigates how transgenerational exposure to insecticides influences the resistance mechanisms and associated gut bacterial communities in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. The study aims to explore the microbiome's potential role in mediating adaptation and resistance across generations.
