Identification of Genes Displaying Sex- and Tissue-biased Expression Patterns in the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) with an Emphasis on Chemosensory Perception

(Submitter supplied) Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) rely on milkweeds as larval host plants. Host plant seeking and verification by female butterflies may be mediated by gustatory (GRs) and olfactory receptors (ORs). Here we employed RNA-Seq, bioinformatics and RT-qPCR techniques to identify sex- and tissue-specific gene expression. We focused on chemosensation related genes and pathways, including putative ORs, GRs, ionotropic receptors (IRs), odorant-binding proteins, chemosensory proteins, and steroid hormone mediated signaling in specific chemosensory tissues (i.e., antennae, legs and proboscis). more...
