Description
Summary:Tea Mosquito Bug (TMB), Helopeltis bradyi (Hemiptera: Miridae) is one of the major pest infesting tea and cocoa plantations worldwide. Developing olfaction-based control methods was urges as an alternative to commonly used but non-environmental friendly chemical pesticides. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying TMB reception mechanism are still lacking. Here, we collected a pooled male and female TMB antennae for RNA extraction followed by sequencing using the BGISEQ-500 platform and de novo assembly. TMB antennae RNA-seq data yielded 32,142 unigenes with N50 and GC (%) were 2322 and 40.25; subsequently. The RNA-seq data are available in GenBank Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database with accession number SRR13327229. De novo transcriptome analysis had identified several genes involved in TMB odorant reception includes; 39 OBPs (odorant binding proteins), 10 CSPs (chemosensory proteins), 81 Ors (odorant receptors), 1 Orcos (co-receptors), 9 SNMPs (sensory neuron membrane proteins), 3 GRs (gustatory receptors) and 4 IRs (ionotropic receptors). Our study presents the first RNA seq for TMB antennae, which serve the primary molecular resources data, which will facilitate further research to develop olfaction-based control methods, potentially contribute to TMB management strategies.
