Transcriptome overview of Holotrichia parallela larvae after treatment with Heterorhabditis beicherriana LF. a The number of genes differentially expressed in H. parallela after treatment with nematodes for 24 and 72 h, respectively. b Venn diagrams showing the number of H. parallela genes that are differentially expressed (upregulated or downregulated) at 24 h only or at 72 h only or at both time-points after treatment with nematodes. Expression patterns are indicated (UP/UP: gene upregulation at both 24 and 72 h, DOWN/UP: gene downregulation at 24 h and upregulation at 72 h, DOWN/DOWN: gene downregulation at both time-points, UP/DOWN: gene upregulation at 24 h and downregulation at 72 h). c and d Gene Ontology classification of the H. parallela larvae midgut transcript with Blast2GO program after treatment with H. beicherriana LF for 24 and 72 h. CCOB: cellular component organization or biogenesis; PPICST: presynaptic process involved in chemical synaptic transmission
