Brassicogethes aeneus
TaxID: 1431903
Basic Information
Brassicogethes aeneus
-
Brassicogethes aeneus, the common pollen beetle, is a species of pollen beetle in the family Nitidulidae. Other common names include the rape pollen beetle and rape blossom beetle. It was previously known as Meligethes aeneus. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia (excluding China) and North America. A subspecies of Brassicogethes aeneus is B. aeneus dauricus. Adults are about 2–3 mm long, 1–2 mm wide and black with a hint of metallic green. The larvae are up to 3 mm long and white with brown sclerotised plates. Brassicogethes aeneus is an important pest of oilseed rape. It is not known whether it contributes to the pollination of the crop. The female beetle lays its eggs in the flower buds of the host-plant and the larvae develop within the flowers. Oviposition and feeding damage the buds of oilseed rape and similar Brassicas and may cause the flowers to drop. Both adults and larvae feed on the pollen and nectar in the flowers.

PRJNA223353 SRX366924 SRP031841 insect Adult Meligethes aeneus shotgun transcriptome mRNA was purified from 1µg total RNA by exonuclease digestion followed by LiCl precipitation (mRNA-Only Eucaryotic mRNA Isolation Kit, Epicentre, Madison, WI, USA); 1µg mRNA was used for first-strand cDNA synthesis. cDNA synthesis and amplification was done according to the Mint-Universal cDNA Synthesis Kit user manual (Evrogen, Moscow, Russia ); 800 ng amplified cDNA were used as starting material in the normalization reaction using the Trimmer Kit (Evrogen, Moscow, Russia), normalized material was re-amplified for 18 cycles; 2 µg of normalized cDNA was digested with 10 Units SfiI for 2hours at 48°C. Fragments larger than 800b p were isolated from a LMP Agarose Gel and purified using the MinElute Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). 200ng purified cDNA fragments were ligated to 100ng Sfi cut and dephosphorylated pDNR-lib Vector (Clontech) in 10µl Volume using the Fast Ligation Kit (NEB ,Ipswich, MA,USA). Ligations were desalted by Ethanol precipitation, and re-dissolved in 10µl water. 3 times 1,5 µl desalted ligation was used to transform NEB10b competent cells (NEB, Ipswich, MA,USA).; Library generation for the 454 FLX sequencing was carried out according to the manufacturer’s standard protocols (Roche/454 life sciences, Branford, CT 06405, USA).; In short, the concatenated inserts were sheared randomly by nebulization to fragments ranging in size from 400 bp to 900 bp. These fragments were end polished and the 454 A and B adaptors that are required for the emulsion PCR and sequencing were added to the the ends of the fragments by ligation. The resulting fragment library was sequenced on 1/2 picotiterplate (PTP) on the GS FLX using the Roche/454 FLX+ chemistry. A total of 554 020sequence reads with an average read length of 505 nucleotides were obtained. {'label': 'adult', 'body_site': 'Body of invertebrate', 'geo_loc_name': 'Poland', 'specific_host': 'Brassica napus', 'collection_date': '2012-04', 'isolation_source': 'adult beetles'} |
