Problems solved by technology

The synthesis of chitin in organisms is catalyzed by a series of enzymes, among which chitin synthase (CHS) plays a key role in the last step of synthesis, so the absence of chitin synthase can affect For the normal growth and development of insects, since humans, higher animals, and plants do not contain chitin, the chitin synthesis pathway is relatively safe as a target for pests. The development of new insecticides based on this pathway has great potential in the control of pests. However, there are few related studies on the chitin synthase gene of the brown orange aphid, and there is no report on dsRNA targeting the chitin synthase gene of the brown orange aphid.

Abstract

The invention discloses a toxoptera citricida chitin synthase gene. The sequence of the toxoptera citricida chitin synthase gene is shown as SEQ ID NO:3. The invention further discloses dsRNA of the toxoptera citricida chitin synthase gene, and the sequence of the dsRNA is shown as SEQ ID NO:6. The invention further discloses a synthesis method of the dsRNA of the toxoptera citricida chitin synthase gene. The synthesis method includes the following steps that total RNA of toxoptera citricida is extracted and subjected into reverse transcription to form cDNA serving as an amplification template; PCR amplification is carried out through primers with the sequences of SEQ ID NO:4 and SEQ ID NO:5, a product is recycled after electrophoresis, and the dsRNA of the toxoptera citricida chitin synthase gene is synthesized with a gel recycling product as a template. According to the dsRNA of the chitin synthase gene, gene silencing efficiency is high, toxoptera citricida has obvious phenotypic changes after gene interference, and the good application prospects are achieved in the aspect of researching and developing novel pesticide.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of growth and development regulation and genetic engineering of insects, in particular to a chitin synthase gene of the brown orange aphid and dsRNA thereof. Background technique [0002] Brown orange aphid (Toxoptera citricida) is a worldwide pest of citrus and is the main vector of citrus decay disease virus, which has a great impact on citrus yield and quality. At present, chemical control is still an important measure to control brown orange aphid. Improper application of chemical pesticides not only affects fruit safety, but also leads to serious pesticide resistance. [0003] RNA interference (RNA interference, RNAi) is an important means of gene silencing discovered in recent years. The phenomenon of high-efficiency and specific degradation of homologous RNA is through the mediation of dsRNA to specifically degrade the mRNA of the corresponding sequence. Since the expression of a specific gene can be specifi...
