摘要： Disparities in the functional classification of secretory genes among aphid taxa may be attributed to variations in coding sequences and gene expression profiles. However, the driving factors that regulate sequence evolution remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the differences in coding sequences and expression patterns of secretory genes between the rose grain aphid (Metopolophium dirhodum) and the pea aphid (Acrythosiphon pisum), with a particular focus on their roles in evolutionary adaptations and functional diversity. The study involved the rearing of aphids, RNA extraction, de novo transcriptome assembly, functional annotation, secretory protein prediction, and comparative analysis of coding sequences and expression patterns across various functional categories using bioinformatics tools. The results revealed that metabolic genes exhibited greater coding sequence divergence, indicating the influence of positive selection. Moreover, significant expression divergence was noted among functional categories, particularly in metabolic and genetic information processing genes, which exhibited higher variability. This study enhances our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that contribute to phenotypic and genetic diversity among aphid species. This study elucidates the relationship between variations in coding sequences and differences in gene expression among functional categories, thereby establishing a foundation for future studies on gene evolution in response to environmental pressures.
