Comparing the Transcriptomes of Two Different Tissues in Helicoverpa assulta (Guenée)
Helicoverpa assulta (Guenée), a moth species belonging to the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) family, is a destructive agricultural pest that infests multiple cash crops. To assess differences in the gene expression profiles of different tissues in H. assulta, we analyzed the transcriptomes of two tissue ty...

| description | Helicoverpa assulta (Guenée), a moth species belonging to the Noctuidae (Lepidoptera) family, is a destructive agricultural pest that infests multiple cash crops. To assess differences in the gene expression profiles of different tissues in H. assulta, we analyzed the transcriptomes of two tissue types (midgut and hemocytes) using the Illumina Hiseq 2000 platform, on the basis of which we obtained 52076750 and 53404200 high-quality clean reads, respectively. De novo assembly yielded 46146 and 33707 unigenes from the midgut and hemocytes, respectively. After screening, we identified 23726 unigenes differentially expressed between the midgut and hemocytes. Taking the midgut as the control, we detected 7448 and 16278 unigenes that were up- and downregulated in hemocytes, respectively. Gene Ontology functional annotation divided the differentially expressed unigenes (DEUs) into three categories (biological process, cellular component, and molecular function) and 51 branches, whereas the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes metabolic pathway annotation assigned the DEUs to six categories, mapping these to 258 pathways. In addition, we detected 224918 single-nucleotide polymorphic sites. Our findings based on transcriptome sequencing, data assembly, and functional gene annotation of two different tissues in H. assulta will provide a valuable reference for further excavation and study of functional genes in H. assulta. |
