| Popis: | Chemosensory receptors in the dendritic membrane of olfactory cells are critical for the molecular recognition and discrimination of odorants. Tropidothorax elegans is a major pest of agricultural, ornamental, and medicinal plants. However, very little is known about olfactory genes in T. elegans. The purpose of this study was to obtain chemosensory receptor genes by sequencing the antennal transcriptome of T. elegans using Illumina sequencing technology. We identified 153 candidate chemosensory receptors, including 121 olfactory receptors (including one olfactory receptor co-receptor), 10 ionotropic receptors (including one IR8a and one IR25a), and 22 gustatory receptors (GRs). TeleOR76, 104 and 112 displayed more highly expression level than TeleOrco. Other TeleGR genes were expressed at very low levels except TeleGR1 and 20. TeleIR76b was the most highly expressed among TeleIR genes. Our results provide valuable biological information for studies of the olfactory communication system of T. elegans. |
