Analysis of Antennal Transcriptome and OBPs Gene Family in Adults of Oulema tristis
Oulema tristis,an important pest of foxtail millet,poses a serious threat to the yield and quality of foxtail millet.Odorant binding proteins(OBPs)is an important protein that binds to odorant molecules in the olfactory sensory system of insects,and plays an important role in adult positioning host plants and mating behavior.In this study,a transcriptome database of the antennae of Oulema tristis adults was constructed by transcriptome sequencing,and the potential OBPs gene family in the antennae of Oulema tristis adults were excavated,and their physicochemical properties,conserved Motifs,phylogenies and expression levels were analyzed.The results showed that a high-quality antennal transcriptome database with high accuracy,good splicing integrity and good functional annotation was obtained.32 OtriOBPs genes were identified,encoding 92~184 amino acids with a protein molecular mass of 10.07~21.19 kDa.The Motif composition of OtriOBPs on different branches was different,but OtriOBPs on the same branch has the same Motif composi-tion.The 32 OtriOBPs were distributed in the whole phylogenetic tree and the distribution was relatively concentrated.There were mul-tiple orthologous gene pairs with Anoplophora glabripennis,Xylotrechus quadripes and Agrilus mali.12 genes were highly expressed in the antennae of Oulema tristis adults by gene expression analysis.Among them,OtriOBP9 gene showed the highest relative expression level,with a significantly higher expression level in male antennae compared to female antennae.It may be related to the male of Oule-ma tristis looking for a mate.The results of real time quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)were consistent with the transcriptome data.This study lays a foundation for further exploring the functions of OBPs from Oulema tristis,and also provides an important theoretical basis for the subsequent development of green prevention and control technology based on olfactory behavior regulation.
