Project description:In this study, we tried to reveal the protein components of Riptortus pedestris saliva using LC-MS/MS mehods. The Riptortus pedestris strain was reared on clover seeds. The insects were maintained at 26 ± 0.5 °C and 50 ± 5% relative humidity under a light/dark photoperiod of 16/8 h.
Project description:Here, for the first time, we have tried to identify their salivary proteins by proteomic analyses.Saliva of R. pedestris males, females and nymphs was collected and proteins inside were identified. In total, 155, 20 and 11 R. pedestris proteins were, respectively, found in their saliva.The potential functions of the proteins in regulating plant defenses were discussed. The datasets reported here represent an important first step in identifying effectors in R. pedestris.
