Abstract

Red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is one of the most destructive insects for palm trees in the world. However, its genome resources are still in the blank stage, which limits the study of molecular and growth development analysis. In this study, we used PacBio Iso-Seq and Illumina RNA-seq to first generate transcriptome from three developmental stages of R. ferrugineus (pupa, 7th larva, female and male) to increase our understanding of the life cycle and molecular characteristics of R. ferrugineus. A total of 63,801 nonredundant full-length transcripts were generated with an average length of 2,964 bp from three developmental stages, including the 7th instar larva, pupa, female adult and male adult. These transcripts showed a high annotation rate in seven public databases, with 54,999 (86.20%) successfully annotated. Meanwhile, 2,184 alternative splicing (AS) events, 2,084 transcription factors (TFs), 66,230 simple sequence repeats (SSR) and 9,618 Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were identified. In summary, our results provide a new source of full-length transcriptional data and information for the further study of gene expression and genetics in R. ferrugineus.

Alternative splicing

Alternative splicing a regulated gene expression process that allows a single genetic sequence to code for multiple proteins. Here is that latest research.
