Figure 6

Tissue specific expression of chemosensory genes and anti-microbial peptides. A. Heatmap showing the expression as row scaled z-scores of S. frugiperda odorant-binding proteins, chemosensory proteins, olfactory receptors and ionotropic receptors in the 10 Illumina RNAseq experiments. A higher expression of odorant-binding proteins in the antennae and palps can be observed. B. Same as in A. for the anti-microbial peptides identified in S. frugiperda transcriptome. A higher expression of AMP in induced fat bodies is observed as well as an overexpression in antennae and palps as well as in tracheae, two tissues in contact with the external environment.
