Insects rely on olfaction for mating, finding oviposition sites, and locating hosts. Hyphantria cunea is a serious pest that severely damages forests. Differential expression analysis of olfactory-related genes between males females the basis elucidating functions proteins in H. cunea. In this study, Illumina HiSeqTM 4000 high-throughput sequencing technology was used to perform transcriptome antennal tissues adult male female Functional annotation conducted using NR, Swiss-Prot, KOG, KEGG, GO databases, results showed contained 50,158 unigenes. identified 3923 were significantly differentially expressed antennae. A total 221 annotated, 96 sex-biased identified, including 13 odorant receptors (ORs), 48 binding (OBPs), 7 chemosensory (CSPs), 10 ionotropic (IRs), sensory neuron membrane (SNMPs), 2 gustatory (GRs), 6 odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs), indicating there differences Quantitative real-time PCR verify levels 21 putative general receptor HcunOR4 HcunOR5 female-biased expression; HcunOR48, HcunOR49 HcunOR50 male-biased expression. The consistent with differential analysis. screening might provide theoretical functional characterization recognizing sex pheromones
