Parasitic Effects of Trichopria drosophilae on Transcriptome of Drosophila melanogaster
Drosophila melanogaster is the main pest at near ripening stage of fruits,directly affecting the quality and commercial value of berries such as grapes and blueberries.In this study,the dominant pupal par-asitic was p of D.melanogaster,Trichopria drosophilae,was selected as test material,and the RNA-Seq tech-nology based on Illumina sequencing platform was used to perform transcriptome sequencing and analysis of D.melanogaster pupae parasitized by T.drosophilae for 6 hours or not.The results showed that a total of 294 dif-ferentially expressed genes were obtained between the two groups samples of before and after parasitism,inclu-ding 98 upregulated genes and 196 downregulated genes.GO and KEGG functional enrichment analysis was conducted on the differentially expressed genes,and the impact of parasitism on host immune related genes'expression was explored.It was found that T.drosophilae might belong to the immune evasion type parasitic wasp.The results could provide references for the biological control of D.melanogaster.
