Abstract Background Altica (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a highly diverse and taxonomically challenging flea beetle genus that has been used to address questions related to host plant specialization, reproductive isolation, and ecological speciation. To further evolutionary studies in this interesting group, here we present a draft genome of a representative specialist, Altica viridicyanea, the first Alticinae genome reported thus far. Results The genome is 864.8 Mb and consists of 4490 scaffolds with a N50 size of 557 kb, which covered 98.6% complete and 0.4% partial insect Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs. Repetitive sequences accounted for 62.9% of the assembly, and a total of 17,730 protein-coding gene models and 2462 non-coding RNA models were predicted. To provide insight into host plant specialization of this monophagous species, we examined the key gene families involved in chemosensation, detoxification of plant secondary chemistry, and plant cell wall-degradation. Conclusions The genome assembled in this work provides an important resource for further studies on host plant adaptation and functionally affiliated genes. Moreover, this work also opens the way for comparative genomics studies among closely related Altica species, which may provide insight into the molecular evolutionary processes that occur during ecological speciation.

Resolution Analysis

Many phytophagous insect species are ecologic specialists that have adapted to utilize a single host plant. Drosophila sechellia is a specialist that utilizes the ripe fruit of Morinda citrifolia, which is toxic to its sibling species, D. simulans. Here we apply multiplexed shotgun genotyping and QTL analysis to examine the genetic basis of resistance to M. citrifolia fruit toxin in interspecific hybrids. We find that at least four dominant and four recessive loci interact additively to confer resistance to the M. citrifolia fruit toxin. These QTL include a dominant locus of large effect on the third chromosome (QTL-IIIsima) that was not detected in previous analyses. The small-effect loci that we identify overlap with regions that were identified in selection experiments with D. simulans on octanoic acid and in QTL analyses of adult resistance to octanoic acid. Our high-resolution analysis sheds new light upon the complexity of M. citrifolia resistance, and suggests that partial resistance to lower levels of M. citrifolia toxin could be passed through introgression from D. sechellia to D. simulans in nature. The identification of a locus of major effect, QTL-IIIsima, is an important step towards identifying the molecular basis of host plant specialization by D. sechellia.

<p>ABSTRAK<br /><br />Pengembangan hijauan membutuhkan pupuk ramah lingkungan. Fungi Mikoriza Arbuskular (FMA) adalah asosiasi yang melibatkan jamur dan akar yang dianggap sebagai pupuk hayati untuk meningkatkan produktivitas tanaman dan toleran dari kondisi lingkungan. Ketersediaan FMA masih jarang, sehingga dibutuhkan produksi massal untuk dapat mendukung pengembangan hijauan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menghasilkan inokulum AMF menggunakan sistem hidroponik dalam jumlah besar secara efektif. Penelitian ini dibagi menjadi 2 tahap. Rancangan Acak Kelompok Faktorial yang digunakan pada tahap pertama dengan faktor A adalah jenis sistem irigasi (Manual, Drip dan Nutrien Film Technique System (NFT)) dan B adalah larutan nutrisi (AB Mix dan Hyponex Red) dengan Pueraria javanica sebagai tanaman inang. Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dilakukan pada tahap kedua dengan menggunakan produksi inokulum FMA dari tahap pertama dengan Brachiaria decumbens var Mullato sebagai tanaman inang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa interaksi antara sistem NFT dan AB Mix signifikan (P&lt;0,05) menghasilkan bahan kering tajuk, bahan kering akar dan spora paling tinggi. Semua tipe sistem irigasi dan nutrisi menunjukkan infeksi akar&gt;96%. FMA inokulasi di Brachiaria decumbes var Mulato signifikan(P &lt;0,05) pada bahan kering tajuk, kandungan N, kandungan P dan serapan P.</p><p><br />Kata kunci: Brachiaria decumbes, FMA, sistem Drip, sistem NFT, Pueraria javanica,</p><p><br />ABSTRACT</p><p>Forage mass production development requires environmental friendly fertilizer. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) are mutualitic symbioses between plant and fungi that considered as natural biofertilizer with benefit to improve plant productivitity and environment stress tolerance. The availability of AMF is still low, so it takes mass production to be able to support forage development. The aim of the research was to produce AMF inoculum using hydroponic system in large quantities. This research divided into 2 stages. The factorial randomized block design was used for the first stage with A factor was type of irrigation system (Manual, Drip and Nutrient Film Technique System (NFT)) and B was the nutritional solution (AB Mix and Hyponex Red) using Pueraria javanica as host plant. Completely randomized design was conducted for the second stage by using AMF inoculum production from first stage using Brachiariadecumbens var Mullat as host plant. The best result was a combination beetwen NFT system and AB Mix significantly (P&lt;0.05) produce highest shoot dry matter, root dry matter and spore production. All type of irrigation system and nutrition showed root infection &gt;96%. AMF inoculation in Brachiariadecumbes var Mulato was significant different (P&lt;0.05) on shoot dry matter, N content, P content and P uptake.</p><p><br />Keywords: AMF, B. decumbes, Drip system, NFT system, P. javanica,</p>
