Homoptera on ECO
Adult Suborder Homoptera Immature
THIS SITE IS HOSTED ON ECO CRDF | RNAi challenge
This work is a collaboration between the University of Arizona (Brown and Soderlund), Washington State University (Gang), and the University of Florida (Stansly and Roberts).

Funding: The Citrus Advanced Technology Program: The citrus psyllid transcriptome and time course differential gene expression in Ca. Liberibacter-infected/free whole psyllids and organs.

Asian Citrus Psyllid and Potato Psyllid Illumina Sequencing

Individual and comparison databases were created for the following datasets (ref #1, #2).
SpeciesLibraries
Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP)   
Diaphorina citri
Whole-body adult, Whole-body adult CLas-infected,
Nymph, Nymph CLas-infected 
Potato Psyllid (PoP)
Bactericera cockerelli 
Whole-body adult, Whole-body adult CLso-infected,
Nymph, Nymph CLso-infected

- download the published transcriptomes or view the database using the TCW applet (ref #3).
 

Asian Citrus Psyllid Sanger and 454 Sequencing

Individual databases were created for Sanger ESTs (ref#4) and 454.
TypeLibraries
Sanger   ACP testes, ACP midgut, psyllid, Kuwayama  
454Whole body adult, gut

- download 454 reads and view the databases using the PAVE web interface (ref#5).
