Olfaction is the essential sense of insect’s feeding and mating. It achieves semiochemical and pheromone perception through
olfactory pathway which coupled components by expressing series olfactory genes, distributing in antenna. transcriptome
of antenna is a good way to understand the complicated olfactory system components. Analysis of chemical sensing system is a
crucial basic work for studying the olfactory physiology of aphids and developing biological control technologies. In this study,
we sequenced winged and wingless antennae transcriptome of Sitobion avenae (Fabricius), one of the most serious pests of cereals
using IlluminaHiSeqTM2500/MiseqTM technology and Trinity assembly. A total of 133,331 unigenes were obtained with an average
length of 594 bp. To annotate the transcripts, we searched against the Nr, Nt, Pfam, KOG/COG, Swiss-prot, KEGG and GO databases
and 100,345 unigenes (75.26%) were annotated in at least one database. There were 1,517genes (1,107 up-regulated and 410 downregulated
genes) differentially expressed between wingless and winged antennae, respectively. Nine of them are associated with odour
binding pathway. 13 OBPs, 5 CSPs genes were identified from S. avenae. All of these transcripts have the typical structural features
of insect (six conserved cysteines for OBPs and 4 for CSPs). Through multiple comparisons phylogenetic tree constructed of OBPs
across several aphids, we can see that there is a high similarity between orthologs within a range of aphid species. Besides, 48 Ors
(odorant receptors) were annotated as well and further studies are in progress.
