Fig. 5From: De novo transcriptome assembly and analysis to identify potential gene targets for RNAi-mediated control of the tomato leafminer (Tuta absoluta)The core set of genes of RNAi mechanism identified in the Tuta absoluta transcriptome. The analysis of the transcriptome identified genes at minimum e-value < e−30 related with the process of RNAi, including dsRNA uptake (sid-1 and sid-2); dsRNA cleavage into siRNA (Dicer or drosha); dsRNA binding (loquacious and R2D2); target degradation by endonuclease activity (argonaute; PIWI; aubergine); and signal amplification by RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) with respective number of identified hits at e < e−30.
