17Background: Cyrtotrachelus buqueti is a forest pest that severely damages bamboo shoots. Reducing
24Results: Approximately 44 million high-quality reads were generated, and 94.2% of the data were 25 mapped to the transcriptome. A total of 15,641 out of the 29,406 identified genes were predicted.
26Moreover, 348 genes were differentially expressed between the two groups of imagoes and included 77 27 upregulated and 271 downregulated UniGenes. The functional analysis showed that these genes were 28 significantly enriched in ribosome and metabolic pathway categories. The candidate genes, which 29 contributed to C. Buqueti reduction, included 41 genes involved in the ribosome constitution category,
30five genes in the one-carbon pool pathway by folate category, and five heat shock protein genes.
