ABSTRACT
A white-spotted flower chafer Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis widely distributed in Asian countries is traditionally used oriental medicine. This study explored gene expression abundance with respect to wing development and metamorphosis P. b. based on the large-scale RNA-seq data. The transcriptome assembly consists of 23,551 high-quality transcripts which are approximately 96.7% covered. We found 265 genes, 19 1,314 candidates. Of 1,598 1,594 included exclusively cluster 4 similar co-expression patterns. network centrality analyses showed that development- metamorphosis-related genes have a high degree betweenness expressed most highly eggs, moderately pupa adults, lowest larva. provides some meaningful clues for elucidating genetic modulation mechanism .
