S. exigua wild-type larva, EpOME treated
A wild-type (naive) fifth-instar (L5) larva of Spodoptera exigua was injected with EpOME, and total RNA was extracted from the whole body 8 h post-injection. Strand-specific RNA-seq libraries were constructed using the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Gold Kit following the manufacturers instructions and sequenced on an Illumina platform to generate paired-end reads for transcriptome analysis.
