A bstract Aulacorthum solani is a worldwide agricultural pest aphid capable of feeding on wide range host plants. This insect causes mechanical damage to crops and vector plant viruses. We found that the publicly available genome for A. contaminated with another species, we produced new using barcoded isogenic laboratory line. Oxford Nanopore Illumina reads generate draft assembly, sequenced RNA aid in annotation our assembly. Our 671 Mbp containing 7,020 contigs an N50 length 196 kb BUSCO completeness 98.6%. Out 24,981 genes predicted by E-GAPx, 22,804 were annotated putative functions based homology other species. will provide useful resource community researchers studying aphids from genomic perspectives.

Abstract The recent discovery that various insects have acquired functional genes through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has prompted numerous studies into this puzzling and fascinating phenomenon. So far, horizontally transferred are found to be functionally conserved largely retained their ancestral functions. It evidently not yet been considered may evolve can contribute divergence between species. Here, it is first showed the genomes of two widespread agriculturally important whiteflies Trialeurodes vaporariorum Bemisia tabaci both contain a plant‐derived thaumatin‐like protein ( TLP ) gene, but with highly distinct functions in these closely related pests. In T. , maintained function similar plant donor, acting as an antimicrobial resist fungal infection; sharp contrast, B. evolved effector suppresses defense responses. These findings reveal as‐yet undescribed scenario cross‐species differentiation suggest HGT‐mediated evolutionary novelty ecotypic even speciation.
