Abstract: | "The flower bug Orius sauteri (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae), is a polyphagous predator and a natural enemy widely used in biological pest control to micro-pests including aphids, spider mites, thrips and so on. In the present study, the transcriptome analysis of adult heads in O. sauteri were performed and identified a total of 38 chemosensory genes including 24 odorant binding proteins (OBPs) and 14 chemosensory proteins (CSPs). Subsequently, we conducted quantitative real-time PCR to detect the tissue expression level of 18 OBPs and 8 CSPs. The results showed that almost all OsauOBPs and OsauCSPs have a high expression level in the adult heads of both sexes. In addition, 5 OsauOBPs (OBP1, OBP2, OBP3, OBP4 and OBP14) have a significantly higher expressed in male heads than female, indicating that these chemosensory proteins might be involved in the male-specific behaviors such as pheromone reception and mate-seeking. This study will provide helpful reference for subsequent understanding of chemoreception mechanism in O. sauteri" |
