Project Title
- Genome-wide identification of long noncoding RNA genes and their potential association with fecundity and virulence in rice brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens
The Background of This Project
- The functional repertoire of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been characterized in several model organisms, demonstrating that lncRNA plays important roles in fundamental biological processes. However, they remain largely unidentified in most species. Understanding the characteristics and functions of lncRNA in insects would be useful for insect resources utilization and sustainable pest control.
Plant Culture & Treatment
- A computational pipeline was developed to identify lncRNA genes in the rice brown planthopper,Nilaparvata lugens, a destructive rice pest causing huge yield losses. Strand specific RT-PCR were used to determine the transcription orientation of lncRNAs.
