Leptinotarsa decemlineata Transcriptome or Gene expression
The Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata is a global economically relevant crop pest, and it has caused huge economic loss annually. We performed Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing of the transcriptome of adult male and female antennae of this important agricultural pest. Our goals were to identify olfaction-related genes and olfactory signal transduction mechanisms in this insect.
