Transcriptomic analysis of Dastarcus helophoroides under starvation stress
Dastarcus helophoroides is a key natural-enemy insect against longhorn beetles. After field release, adults frequently face food shortage, while the molecular basis of starvation tolerance is unclear. Here, we carried out RNA-seq for D. helophoroides adults under starvation treatment to characterize transcriptomic dynamics and investigate the regulation of trehalose-metabolism-related genes during long-term starvation adaptation. This transcriptome dataset will facilitate further research on stress tolerance of this biocontrol agent.
