Project description:Yellow stem borer (YSB), Scirpophaga incertulas (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is a major pest of rice in India, that can lead to 20-60% loss in rice production. Effective management of YSB infestation is challenged by the non-availability of adequate source of resistance and poor understanding of resistance mechanisms, thus necessitating studies for generating resources to breed YSB resistant rice and to understand rice-YSB interaction. Here we performed transcritpomics profiling of rice lines with contrasting response to YSB. RNA-sequencing of the susceptible (SM) and tolerant (SM92 lines revealed multiple genes to be differentially regulated upon YSB infestation. Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed a putative candidate gene that was predicted to encode an alpha-amylase inhibitor. Analysis of the transcriptome and metabolite profiles further revealed a possible link between phenylpropanoid metabolism and YSB tolerance.

Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of the pirate butterfly Catacroptera cloanthe (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)
Project description:This study analyzed the expression profiles of miRNAs in fifth instar larvae and pupae of the rice leaf folder (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis) using high-throughput sequencing technology. Furthermore, it predicted the target genes of significantly differentially expressed miRNAs and performed functional enrichment analysis.
