Immune response in Lygus to Beauveria bassiana infection
RNA-Seq profiles of Lygus sprayed with 100 million spores (conidia) per ml.
Immune response by Lygus lineolaris to Beauveria bassiana infection was investigated by profiling gene expression from 0 to 72 hours after spraying insects with a conidia solution containing 100 million spores per ml. RNA was extracted from insects at 12 hour intervals and RNA-Seq profiling was done using the transcriptome of L. lineolaris.
