Abstract
Capturing the genetic diversity of different wild populations is crucial for unraveling the mechanisms of adaptation and establishing links between genome evolution and local adaptation. The Asian corn borer (ACB) moth has undergone natural selection during its adaptative evolution. However, structural variants (SVs), which play significant roles in these adaptation processes, have not been previously identified. Here, we constructed a multi-assembly graph pan-genome to highlight the importance of SVs in local adaptation. Our analysis revealed that the graph pan-genome contained 176.60 Mb (∼37.33%) of unique sequences. Subsequently, we performed an analysis of expression quantitative trait loci (QTLs) to explore the impact of SVs on gene expression regulation. Notably, through QTL mapping analysis, we identified the FTZ-F1 gene as a potential candidate gene associated with the traits of larval development rate. In sum, we explored the impact of SVs on the local adaptation of pests, therefore facilitating accelerated pest management strategies.
期刊介绍:
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
