Adelphocoris suturalisis a major pest of cotton. Here, we identified atrypsin precursorgene (AsTryP) inA.suturali, which has an open reading frame region of 873 bp and belongs to the trypsin superfamily. The mRNA of theAsTryPgene was detectable in every life stage and different tissues of 8-day-old females, and the gene was highly expressed in fourth-instar nymphs and the thorax of 8-day-old females. Down-regulation ofAsTryPby the injection of double-stranded RNA suppressed the ovarian development and female fertility. These results reveal that trypsin precursor is involved in the reproductive process ofA.suturali, and may facilitate the development of new strategies for a better control ofA.suturalis.
