Characterization of a Chitin Synthase Encoding Gene and Effect of Diflubenzuron in Soybean Aphid, Aphis Glycines

<p>Chitin synthases are critical enzymes for synthesis of chitin and thus for subsequent growth and development in insects. We identified the cDNA of chitin synthase gene (<i>CHS</i>) in <i>Aphis glycines</i>, the soybean aphid, which is a serious pest of soybean. The f...
