Abstract
The southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) , is a serious agricultural pest insect causing economic damage in the western hemisphere. Although transcriptome resources exist for adults of this species at both midgut-only and whole-insect levels, data for juvenile developmental stadia are not currently available. Sequence data reported in this study close this gap, providing a substantial increase of extrinsic evidence for use in improving gene annotations in the southern green stink bug genome project, for example. Analysis of these data identify 21, 380 putative transcripts associated with differentially expressed genes, providing a list of potential targets for downstream experimental characterization of gene function.
