Molecular characterization and evolution of a chemosensory receptor gene family in three notorious rice planthoppers, <scp> <i>Nilaparvata lugens</i> </scp> , <scp> <i>Sogatella furcifera</i> </scp> and <scp> <i>Laodelphax striatellus</i> </scp> , based on genome and transcriptome analyses

Abstract

The results demonstrate the importance of the planthopper Orco genes in locating rice plants. This information may aid in the development of RNAi-based transgenic rice and other pest management technologies. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
