Nilaparvata lugens grown under ambient CO2 and elevated CO2

The increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration (CO2) will inevitably affect the photosynthesis of C3 plants, and the primary metabolites and secondary metabolites will change accordingly, thus affecting herbivorous insects. Previous studies have shown that the growth, development and reproduction of Nilaparvata lugens feeding on rice plants are affected by elevated CO2 and may aggravate its harm, however the molecular mechanism of this phenomenon is unclear. The comparative transcriptome analysis of N. lugens were studied to reveal the molecular mechanism of interaction between N. lugens and rice plants under ambient CO2 and elevated CO2.
