The Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of Bean Blossom Thrips (<i>Megalurothrips usitatus</i>) Reveals an Expansion of Protein Digestion-Related Genes in Adaption to High-Protein Host Plants

The Chromosome-Level Genome Assembly of Bean Blossom Thrips (<i>Megalurothrips usitatus</i>) Reveals an Expansion of Protein Digestion-Related Genes in Adaption to High-Protein Host Plants

<i>Megalurothrips usitatus</i> (Bagnall) is a destructive pest of legumes, such as cowpea. The biology, population dynamics and control strategies of this pest have been well studied. However, the lack of a high-quality reference genome for <i>M. usitatus</i> has hindered the...
