Abstract

Eurygaster integriceps is one of the known pests of wheat fields in Iran and West Asia. The role of neuropeptides in the stages of insect’s growth has led to a promising perspective for the production of a new generation of bio-insecticides based specific application. Insect’s neuropeptides along with their specific receptors are one of the most diverse proteins that control physiological and behavioral activities in insects. Allatostatin is one of the important neuropeptides in insects which, by inhibiting the youth hormone, plays a role in regulating physiological processes such as feed and metabolism in some insects. In this study, using the information obtained from adult Eurygaster integriceps transcriptome, neuropeptides and specific receptors of the allatostatin family were investigated. Bioinformatics and phylogenetic studies of the data led to identify four neuropeptides A, B and C allatostatin family, as well as the neuropeptide receptors of A and B allatostatin. The results showed that the neuropeptides of the allatostatin family identified in Eurygaster integriceps are involved in various physiological processes. Considering the important role of neuropeptides in insects, these neuropeptides can be used to design specific insecticides compatible with the environment for managing control Eurygaster integriceps in future.
