S. exigua EpOME receptor mutant larva, EpOME treated
A CRISPR/Cas9-generated EpOME receptor mutant (SeEpOMER) 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.
