Manual curation and phylogenetic analysis of chitinase family genes in the Asian citrus psyllid, <i>Diaphorina citri</i>

2021-11-02

Abstract excerpt

Chitinases are enzymes that digest the polysaccharide polymer chitin. Chitin is a major component of insect exoskeletons, which must be replaced multiple times during growth and development in a process known as molting. Insect genomes usually have multiple chitinase genes, some of which are required for molting and some whose functions are still unknown. Since knockdown of the chitinases required for molting caus...
