Key Points

This research aims to explore the physiological functions of chitin deacetylase (CDA) in the insect Laodelphax striatellus to identify it as a control target.
Investigated the physiological roles of chitin deacetylase in molting and egg development.
Utilized RNA interference techniques to assess CDA's potential as a control target.
CDA is revealed to play a crucial role in the molting process of Laodelphax striatellus.
Significant implications for using CDA in RNA interference-based pest control strategies.

Implication

Research uncovers chitin deacetylase's role in molting and egg development in Laodelphax striatellus, suggesting a new control method.

Abstract

These results reveal the novel physiological functions of CDA in molting and egg development, thereby highlighting its potential as a target for RNA interference-mediated control of SBPH.
