Gene expression atlas of the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata)
Abstract The Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is a major pest of potato crops, known for its remarkable ability to develop resistance to more than 50 pesticides. For decades, CPB has served as a model species for studying insecticide resistance, insect physiology, diapause, reproduction, and evolution....

| description | Abstract The Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is a major pest of potato crops, known for its remarkable ability to develop resistance to more than 50 pesticides. For decades, CPB has served as a model species for studying insecticide resistance, insect physiology, diapause, reproduction, and evolution. However, research progress on CPB has been hindered by the lack of comprehensive genomic and transcriptomic resources. Here, leveraging a recently established chromosome-level genome assembly, we constructed a gene expression atlas of CPB using transcriptomic data from 61 samples representing major organs and developmental stages. By integrating short- and long-read sequencing technologies, we enhanced the genome annotation and identified 6,623 additional genes that were previously undetected. Furthermore, we developed a web portal to facilitate the search and visualization of the gene expression atlas, providing an accessible resource for the research community. The CPB gene expression atlas offers valuable tools and comprehensive data that will accelerate future research in pest control and insect biology. |
