Experimental design for deciphering the molecular dialog between Sitophilus oryzae and its endosymbiont Sodalis pierantonius. A Schematic illustration of the bacteriome location in larvae and adult weevils. B Key developmental life stages sampled in this study for the dual RNA-seq and schematic of gut bacterial load from previous studies [40, 41]. C Time points sampled for the RNA-seq comparison of symbiotic and aposymbiotic weevils. Arrows depict the increase in bacterial load during the first days of adulthood, followed by the drastic recycling of endosymbionts. L larvae, EP early pupae, P pupae, and DX estimation of the adult age in days
