Identification of the key chitinase genes in Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) based on the expression and sequence characteristic analysis

Chitin is an important content in the exoskeletons of arthropods, and its hydrolyzation is catalyzed by chitinases during the process of molting, thus, the chitinases are considered as ideal target to interfere the growth of arthropods. This study intends to clarify the characteristic of the chitina...
