Apolipoprotein D(ApoD),a member of the lipocalin superfamily of proteins,is involved in lipid transport and stress resistance.Whereas only a single copy of the ApoD gene is found in humans and some other vertebrates,there are typically several ApoD-like genes in insects.To date,there have been relatively few studies that have exam-ined the evolution and functional differentiation of ApoD-like genes in insects,particularly hemi-metabolous insects.In this study,we identified 10 ApoD-like genes(NlApoD1-10)with distinct spatiotemporal expression patterns in Nilaparvata lugens(BPH),which is an important pest of rice.NlApoD1-10 were found to be distributed on 3 chromosomes in a tandem array of NlApoD1/2,NlApoD3-5,and NlApoD7/8,and show sequence and gene structural divergence in the coding regions,indicating that multiple gene duplica-tion events occurred during evolution.Phylogenetic analysis revealed that NlApoD1-10 can be clustered into 5 clades,with NlApoD3-5 and NlApoD7/8 potentially evolving exclusively in the Delphacidae family.Functional screening using an RNA interference approach revealed that only NlApoD2 was essential for BPH development and survival,whereas NlApoD4/5 are highly expressed in testes,and might play roles in reproduction.Moreover,stress response analysis revealed that NlApoD3-5/9,NlApoD3-5,and NlA-poD9 were up-regulated after treatment with lipopolysaccharide,H2O2,and ultraviolet-C,respectively,indicating their potential roles in stress resistance.
