Abstract
Relatively little is known about the genomic basis and evolution of wood-feeding in beetles. We undertook genome sequencing and annotation, gene expression assays, studies of plant cell wall degrading
enzymes, and other functional and comparative studies of the Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis, a
globally significant invasive species capable of inflicting severe feeding damage on many important tree species.
Complementary studies of genes encoding enzymes involved in digestion of woody plant tissues or detoxification
of plant allelochemicals were undertaken with the genomes of 14 additional insects, including the newly sequenced emerald ash borer and bull-headed dung beetle.
