These data were collected by students at Morehouse College in Fall 2024.
Beetles were adult females reared on blackeye peas.
Controls beetles were in a dish at 25¡C for 3-hours with a cotton ball soaked in DI-water (N=10)and neem oil exposed beetles (n=10)were in a dish at 25¡C for 3-hours with a cotton ball soaked in DI-water containing neem oil (0.5mL neem oil in 9.5mL water).
Beetles were from the SI-3 strain adapted to their host bean for many generations.
Beetles were adult females.
Beetles were surface-sterilized.
DNA was extracted 2-days after control water or neem oil exposure.
Beetles were extracted with QIAGEN DNA-Easy kits.
Sequences are for the v4 region.
MiSeq sequencing was done by MrDNA labs.
