Rice ragged stunt virus mediates immune responses in Nilaparvata lugens against Metarhizium anisopliae YTTR infection: evidence from two novel genes NlK-serpin and NlVenomase
Abstract:In this study, two vital genes in the serine protease cascade, NlK-serpin and NlVenomase, were identified. Two genes show differential responses in brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens, BPH) carrying the insect fungal pathogen Metarhizium anisopliae YTTR and/or the plant viral pathogen rice ragged stunt virus (RRSV). RNA interference (RNAi) combined with/without M. anisopliae YTTR were used to explore the genes’ functions. And BPH mortality, the transcriptional response of four antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) g… Show more
