Project description:Through transcriptome, thirty-eight P450 genes were identified in Aphis craccivora, and most of the genes belonged to the CYP3 and CYP4 Clans. Ten GST genes were identified, including two Delta genes which play important roles in xenobiotic detoxification.
Project description:The cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora (Hemiptera: Aphididae), is one of the most destructive insect pests of cowpea, peanut, and other legumes in tropical and subtropical regions. However, there are little-known molecular mechanisms underlying the host plant specification and their interaction. Aphids secretes numerous proteins while feeding on plants to counteract plant defenses which became indispensable for its survival and growth. In this study we identified salivary proteins of cowpea aphid using LC-MS/MS.
Project description:This study was designed to identify the sRNAs in Aphis gossypii (cotton-melon aphid) during Vat-mediated resistance in teraction with melon
