The expression and functional enrichment of DETs in S. litura and between S. litura and S. frugiperda. (A) The heatmap of expression of all DETs identified by differentially expressed analysis in S. litura. The expression of DETs was normalized using rlog function. Red color represented most abundance and blue color represented less abundance. (B) The KEGG pathways enriched by upregulated DETs in the larvae stage when compared to the chrysalis stage (LL vs. LC). (C) The heatmap of expression of all differentially expressed single-copy orthologous genes between S. litura and S. frugiperda identified by differentially expressed analysis. Red color represented most abundance and blue color represented less abundance. (D) The top20 significant GO terms enriched by upregulated differentially expressed single-copy orthologous genes between S. litura and S. frugiperda in the adult stage (FL vs. LA). LL vs. LC, larvae group versus chrysalis group of S. litura; FL vs. LA, larvae group versus adult group of S. frugiperda; DETs, differentially expressed transcripts; GO, gene ontology; Count means the number of genes enriched in pathway; Q-value is the value of P-value after multiple hypothesis testing and correction
