Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Response of Cryptomeria japonica to Feeding Stress of Dendrolimus houi Lajonquière Larvae
The Japanese fir, Cryptomeria japonica, is ecologically and commercially vital in China. However, infestations by Dendrolimus houi Lajonquière larvae cause widespread dieback, mimicking mechanical damage effects, with unclear differential impacts and mechanisms. To address this, 6th instar larvae of D. houi were introduced to three-year-old C. japonica seedlings to induce pest infestation, while mechanical damage and non-infested pests were controlled. Then, next-generation sequencing techniques were employed, and transcriptome sequencing was conducted to analyze the distinct damage mechanisms responding to C. japonica. This study revealed 10,412 DEGs between pest infestation and controls and 5535 DEGs comparing pest infestation to mechanical damage. Functional enrichment analysis highlighted the involvement of these DEGs in crucial processes such as photosynthesis, amino acid and nucleotide metabolism, flavonoid biosynthesis, and plant hormone signaling pathways. In particular, 786 unique DEGs were discerned in pest-infested samples. Key enriched pathways, such as pyruvate and propionate metabolism, were pinpointed, with flavonoid biosynthesis potentially closely linked to pest-feeding inductions. These findings provided valuable insights into the molecular responses of C. japonica to D. houi infestation, laying the foundation for future research aimed at developing pest-resistant varieties of Japanese fir.
