Methyl farnesoate (MF) is considered the equivalent of JH in crustaceans and plays an essential role in many crucial physiological processes. It is believed that farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS) plays an essential role in the biosynthesis of mevalonate, which is a branch of the JH/MF pathway. The full-length cDNA of FPPS (NdFPPS) from Neocaridina denticulata sinensis was isolated and characterized, and the deduced amino acid of NdFPPS contained a polyprenyl_synt domain. In addition to its ubiquitous tissue expression, NdFPPS was significantly expressed in the ovary. In vivo gene silencing with dsRNA interference was performed to further investigate the function of NdFPPS. An ovarian transcriptomic analysis of dsNdFPPS experimental and control groups was used to compare, annotate, and classify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). A total of 9230 DEGs were identified in the experimental and control groups based on FPKM values, of which 5082 were up-regulated genes and 4148 were down-regulated genes. 761 GO terms and 102 KEGG pathways were enriched for the DEGs. Our results suggest that NdFPPS might play an important role in ovarian development, however, further functional study is needed to elucidate physiological role of NdFPPS in reproduction.
