Megalurothrips usitatus Pheromone Response and Gene Expression Data

A 31.9 KB Excel dataset from figshare, last updated on 2026-06-01. The data relates to a study on the bean flower thrips, Megalurothrips usitatus, identifying 105 olfactory-related genes and the role of the MusiCSP7 gene in pheromone response and reproductive modulation. The dataset was authored by Mingyue Feng.

Use Cases

• Analyzing behavioral attraction responses based on pheromone exposure described in the study
• Investigating gene expression changes based on the 105 olfactory-related genes identified
• Studying reproductive output synchronization based on the link between pheromone exposure and offspring production

Strengths

• Dataset is focused on a specific pest species and its pheromone, Megalurothrips usitatus and (2E,6E)-farnesyl acetate
• Research includes specific experimental results, such as a 30-second pheromone exposure increasing offspring production

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
