Abstract
- The green mirid bug Apolygus lucorum is an agricultural pest that is known to cause damage to more than 150 plant species. Here, we report the transcriptomes of A. lucorum at three different developmental stages (the second and fifth instar nymphs and adults). A total of 98,236 unigenes with an average length of 1,335 nt was obtained, of which 50,640 were annotated, including those encoding digestive enzymes and cytochrome P450s. Comparisons with cotton bollworm and cotton aphid transcriptomes revealed distinct features of A. lucorum as a mesophyll feeder. The gene expression dynamics varied during development from young nymphs to adults. The high-quality transcriptome data and the gene expression dynamics reported here provide valuable data for a more comprehensive understanding of the physiology and development of mirid bugs, and for mining targets for their control.
