Novel partiti-like viruses are conditional mutualistic symbionts in their normal lepidopteran host, African armyworm, but parasitic in a novel host, Fall armyworm

Transcriptome analysis using the partiti-like virus-positive individuals compared to related virus-negative individuals in S. exempta and S. frugiperda.
(a,c) PCA analysis of global gene expression of DEGs in the comparison of partiti-like virus-positive groups and related virus-negative groups in S. exempta (a) and S. frugiperda (c). Blue stands for the partiti-like viruses-positive samples and red stands for the partiti-like viruses-negative samples. (b,d) Heatmaps of–log10 p-values of KEGG pathway representing the up- and down- regulated DEGs in S. exempta (b) and S. frugiperda (d). “*” indicate the significantly enriched pathways (p < 0.05). Red color shows up-regulation pathways, green color show down-regulation pathways, gray color shows no value, the redder/greener the color, the lower P-values.
