Gall Wasp Transcriptomes Unravel Potential Effectors Involved in Molecular Dialogues With Oak and Rose

摘要: To gain insight into wasp factors that might be involved in the initial induction of galls on woody plants, we performed high throughput (454) transcriptome analysis ovaries and venom glands two cynipid gall wasps, Biorhiza pallida Diplolepis rosae, inducing oak rose, respectively. De novo assembled annotated contigs were compared to sequences from phylogenetically related parasitoid wasps. The relative expression levels estimated identify most expressed gene each tissue. We for first time a set maternally proteins potentially interaction with plant. Some genes highly may act suppress early plant defense signaling. also cellulases could observed local lysis tissue following oviposition, which have been acquired bacteria by horizontal transfer. find no evidence virus-related expression, contrast many non-cynipid By exploring effectors, this study is step towards understanding molecular mechanisms underlying recent sequencing rose genomes will enable responses these factors.
