摘要: The endoparasitoid wasp, Aulacocentrum confusum (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), is a preponderant natural enemy of the larvae of Glyphodes pyloalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), which is a destructive pest of mulberry trees. We first constructed the antennal transcriptome database of A. confusum. In total, we obtained 48,262,304 clean reads from the dataset and assembled 24,324 unigenes. A total of 12,690 (52.17%) unigenes indicated significant similarity (E-value < 10(-5)) compared to known protein sequences of other species from the NCBI non-redundant protein database. Gene ontology (GO) and cluster of orthologous groups (COG) analyses were used to determine the functional categories of these genes. A total of 84 putative chemosensory genes were identified from the antennal transcriptome of A. confusum, including 11 putative odorant-binding protein (OBP) genes, six chemosensory protein (CSP) genes, 44 olfactory receptor (OR) genes (including one olfactory co-receptor, Orco), 19 ionotropic receptor (IR) genes, and four sensory neuron membrane protein (SNMP) genes. Results of qPCR assays indicated that among of 11 AconOBPs, nine AconOBP genes were significantly expressed in the antennae of A. confusum adults. AconOBP8 was significantly expressed in the abdomen and AconOBP10 was highly expressed in the thorax. These findings can build a basis for further study on the processes of chemosensory perception in A. confusum at the molecular level.
