Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the application of exons 2b and 19b of the chitin synthase gene of Lepidoptera insects in pest control, and specifically relates to the function of CHSA-2b / 19b affecting the development of pupal wings of Lepidoptera insects, so as to develop around the gene The research and development of transgenes or inhibitors can achieve the purpose of pest control by hindering the normal development of insect wings, affecting their flight, courtship and reproduction. Background technique
[0002] The main component of insect skin and wings is chitin, which is the second largest biopolymer after cellulose. It is a linear polysaccharide complex composed of N-acetyl-β-D Glucosamine (β-N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine) is polymerized through β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. In arthropods, chitin is an important component of the epidermal exoskeleton, which plays an important role in the growth and development of arthropods. The content of chitin in ins...
