Silencing of the Chitin Synthase Gene Is Lethal to the Asian Citrus Psyllid, <i>Diaphorina citri</i>
Chitin synthase is a critical enzyme that catalyzes <i>N</i>-acetylglucosamine to form chitin, which plays an important role in the growth and development of insects. In this study, we identified a chitin synthase gene (<i>CHS</i>) with a complete open reading frame (ORF) of...
