Genome-Wide Identification and Stage-Dependent Analysis of Odorant-Binding Protein and Chemosensory Protein Genes in the Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth, Adoxophyes orana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Abstract

Simple Summary The summer tortrix fruit moth, Adoxophyes orana, is a major pest of fruit trees in Asia and Europe, which rolls leaves for food and generates silk nets to avoid being preyed upon by natural enemies. Its host plants cover more than 30 species, especially fruit trees in Rosaceae. It relies on its olfactory system to choose optimal host plants and call mates. However, apart from the functional research of two GOBPs and PBP3, no comparative genome-wide identification olfactory genes and functional research have been published. With RNA-seq data from samples across developmental stages and adult antennae mapped to the genome of A. orana, we annotated and identified two small soluble protein families, odorant binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs), and further analyzed the expression patterns of these samples. These data will provide gene resources for future functional studies of specific OBPs or CSPs and potential targets for pest management.
