Comparison and functional analysis of odorant-binding proteins and chemosensory proteins in two closely related thrips species, Frankliniella occidentalis and Frankliniella intonsa (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

The antennal transcriptome analysis was performed for F. occidentalis and F. intonsa, and the putative chemosensory genes (OBPs and CSPs) were identified and compared between the two species Overall design: Gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for one-day-old adults' antennae of F. occidentalis and F. intonsa

本研究针对西花蓟马（F. occidentalis）与烟蓟马（F. intonsa）开展触角转录组分析，鉴定并比较了两个物种间的推定化学感受基因——嗅觉结合蛋白（Odorant Binding Proteins，OBPs）与化学感受蛋白（Chemosensory Proteins，CSPs）。实验设计：针对两种蓟马一日龄成虫的触角，对其RNA-seq数据开展基因表达谱分析。
