Effect of day-length shortening on gene expression on pea aphid heads
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Seasonal photoperiodism is responsable in aphid for the switch from asexual to sexual reproduction. In order to identify genes regulating the photoperiodic response, a cDNA microarray from the pea aphid was used to compare RNA populations from short- and long-day reared aphids. Analyses revealed that 64 different transcripts were significantly regulated, with a strong biological signature for cuticular proteins and proteins involved in cellular signalling or signal transduction. Quantitative PCR experiments performed on 5 transcripts confirmed microarray results. Complementary experiments eliminated moulting and circadian rhythms as putative confounding effects.
