Characterization of chitin deacetylase genes in the <i>Diaphorina citri</i> genome

2020-12-22

Abstract excerpt

Chitin deacetylases (CDAs) are one of the least understood components of insect chitin metabolism. The partial deacetylation of chitin polymers appears to be important for the proper formation of higher order chitin structures, such as long fibers and bundles, that contribute to the integrity of the insect exoskeleton and other structures. Some CDAs may also play a role in bacterial defense. Here we report the cha...
