Brontispa longissima Larval Transcriptome After Parasitoid Wasp Attack

A transcriptomic analysis of coconut leaf beetle larvae parasitized by the wasp Asecodes hispinarum. The dataset contains 12,196 reference transcripts and identifies thousands of differentially expressed genes at four time points post-parasitism. Author Zhiming Chen published the results on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Identify immune-related gene expression changes based on the description of differentially expressed genes.
• Study temporal dynamics of host response based on gene expression data from 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours post-parasitism.
• Investigate potential molecular targets for pest control based on the described host-parasite interaction.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a high-quality transcriptome reference constructed using single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing.
• Results were validated by quantitative PCR (qPCR), confirming consistency and reliability.
• Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was performed, revealing significant immune-related processes.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small (143.9 KB), indicating limited scope.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
