Research Progress of Insect Chitin Synthase B Gene

Chitin is the main component of insects, and its synthesis plays an important role in insect growth and metamorphosis. Because chitin does not exist in plants and invertebrates, it is considered to be a design target for environmentally friendly pesticides. Chitin synthase B is the last key enzyme in the chitin synthesis pathway, which has become a hot topic in recent years. Based on the author ’s own, domestic and foreign research on the function of insect chitin synthase B gene, this paper reviewd the research progress of chitin synthase B in the regulation of chitin synthesis Including temporal and spatial expression characteristics, gene function, gene research progress in pest control, and the problems and solutions of RNA interference technology application.
