Open AccessThe genome- and transcriptome-wide analysis of innate immunity in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens
The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) is one of the most serious rice plant pests in Asia. N. lugens causes extensive rice damage by sucking rice phloem sap, which results in stunted plant growth and the tra...

Open AccessComparative transcriptome analysis of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) in response to exogenous abscisic acid
Abscisic acid (ABA) can regulate the expressions of many stress-responsive genes in plants. However, in defense responses to pathogens, mounting evidence suggests that ABA plays variable roles. Little informat...

Article
Open AccessSpatial features for Escherichia coli genome organization
In bacterial genomes, the compactly encoded genes and operons are well organized, with genes in the same biological pathway or operons in the same regulon close to each other on the genome sequence. In additio...

Article
Open AccessA reference gene set for sex pheromone biosynthesis and degradation genes from the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, based on genome and transcriptome digital gene expression analyses
Female moths synthesize species-specific sex pheromone components and release them to attract male moths, which depend on precise sex pheromone chemosensory system to locate females. Two types of genes involve...
