  abstract = {{T}he stemborer {S}esamia nonagrioides is an important pest of maize in the {M}editerranean {B}asin. {L}ike other moths, this noctuid uses its chemosensory system to efficiently interact with its environment. {H}owever, very little is known on the molecular mechanisms that underlie chemosensation in this species. {H}ere, we used next-generation sequencing (454 and {I}llumina) on different tissues from adult and larvae, including chemosensory organs and female ovipositors, to describe the chemosensory transcriptome of {S}. nonagrioides and identify key molecular components of the pheromone production and detection systems. {W}e identified a total of 68 candidate chemosensory genes in this species, including 31 candidate binding-proteins and 23 chemosensory receptors. {I}n particular, we retrieved the three co-receptors {O}rco, {IR}25a and {IR}8a necessary for chemosensory receptor functioning. {F}ocusing on the pheromonal communication system, we identified a new pheromone-binding protein in this species, four candidate pheromone receptors and 12 carboxylesterases as candidate acetate degrading enzymes. {I}n addition, we identified enzymes putatively involved in {S}. nonagrioides pheromone biosynthesis, including a {D}elta 11-desaturase and different acetyltransferases and reductases. {RNA}seq analyses and {RT}-{PCR} were combined to profile gene expression in different tissues. {T}his study constitutes the first large scale description of chemosensory genes in {S}. nonagrioides.},
