Rice stripe virus (RSV) is one of the serious plant pathogenic viruses for rice and mediated by small brown planthopper, Laodalphax striatellus. So far, the studies have been mainly focused on the interaction between the host plant and the virus. In this study, for better comprehension of the interactions among Rice stripe virus, rice and small brown planthopper, transcriptomes of the RSV-viruliferous (RVLS) and non-viruliferous L. striatellus (NVLS) were comparatively analysed. For this, non-viruliferous L. striatellus were collected from non-infected rice field and fed RSV-infected rice for 5 days. With the RNAs prepared from the RSV-viruliferous and the non-viruliferous small brown planthoppers, we conducted Illumina RNA sequencing (Hiseq 2000) and then two transcriptome databases were generated from RVLS and NVLS, respectively. The transcriptome of RVLS and NVLS were campared to figure out how the gene expression of the insects affected by Rice Stripe Virus. RSV-dependently regulated genes analysed from this study may have important functions in the transmission and replication of RSV.
