Abstract

Nilaparvata lugens is a serious phloemfeeding pest of rice in China.  Based on genome and transcriptome data of N.lugens and yeastlike symbiont (YLS, also named Entomomyces delphacidicola str. NLU), the major biosynthesis pathways for amino acids in N.lugens were constructed.  In this study, we cloned two genes, EdeHis2 and EdeHis6, which catalyze critical steps in histidine biosynthesis pathway, and revealed the negative effects of doublestranded RNA (dsRNA) on the growth, development and survival rate of N.lugens. Homology searches and phylogenetic analysis showed that EdeHis2 and EdeHis6  origin from YLS genome, share high similarities with that of Metarhizium acridum and formed a clad in the phylogenetic tree, whereas no His2  or His6like genes was found in N.lugens genome. Temporal expression profiles of EdeHis2 and EdeHis6 showed that both genes were ubiquitously but unevenly expressed among the different life stages, and the spatial expression pattern showed they have higher expression levels in the fat body rather than head, leg, integument and midgut. Furthermore, no target products were amplified in head and wing genomic DNA of N.  lugens, rather than that in abdomen genomic DNA. At two, four and six days after dsEdeHis2 or dsEdeHis6 injection, the mRNA abundance of target genes was decreased by 45%-60% (EdeHis2)or 27%-55% (EdeHis6), comparing with blank control.Downregulation of EdeHis2 or dsEdeHis6 slightly increased the mortality by 8.3% or 9.2%, and delayed the nymphal duration of male and female by 0.43 and 065 day and 0.33 and 0.36 day, respectively. Moreover, both male (11%) and female adult (13%) showed wing deformation after injection of dsEdeHis6, higher than that in the blank control. In conclusion, EdeHis2 and EdeHis6 that origin from YLS were involved in histidine biosynthesis pathway, contributed to the survivor, development and wing formation of N. lugens.
