Screening and functional analysis of genes responsible for phase-change induction in brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens

The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens shows two wing forms, macropterous and brachypterous ones. The head and thorax of third instar and fourth instar nymphs were prepared from two different nymphal densities, solitary and crowded conditions. A new micro-array was designed from RNA-seq data obtained from all stages and tissues of N. lugens. The microarray experiments were conducted for screening genes responsible for phase-change of N. lugens.
