Sitophilus oryzae Transcriptome or Gene expression

The rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae is one of the primary stored grain pests that infests food grains. Fumigation with phosphine has been the primary method to control the storage pests. But the frequent usage has led to the development of phosphine resistance. Although the mechanism of phosphine resistance has been understood and molecular diagnostic tools have been developed, the transcriptome analysis will aid in extensive understanding of phosphine resistance in S. oryzae

米象（Sitophilus oryzae）是蛀食食用谷物的主要储粮害虫之一。磷化氢（phosphine）熏蒸曾是防控储粮害虫的核心手段，但长期频繁施用催生了磷化氢抗性的演化。尽管目前已阐明磷化氢抗性的分子机制并开发出相关分子诊断工具，但转录组分析（transcriptome analysis）仍有助于更全面深入地解析米象（S. oryzae）的磷化氢抗性机制。
