One of the leading pests of rice, small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus) can grow up to have either short or long wings, depending on conditions. However, under the same breeding conditions, the phenotypes of the long- and short-winged small brown planthopper observed to keep the first collected phenotype. To investigate the mechanism involved in wing dimorphism, metabolomic researches have been conducted. In this study, we observed several metabolites change, and the difference of metabolites could provide clues to the relationship between physiological changes in the small brown planthopper and ecological transport.
