RNAi-Mediated Knockdown of Chitin Synthase 1 (<i>CHS1</i>) Gene Causes Mortality and Decreased Longevity and Fecundity in <i>Aphis gossypii</i>

Chitin is a vital part of the insect exoskeleton and peritrophic membrane, synthesized by chitin synthase (CHS) enzymes. Chitin synthase 1 (CHS1) is a crucial enzyme in the final step of chitin biosynthetic pathway and consequently plays essential role towards insect growth and molting. RNA interfer...
