        Chitin synthase (CHS) is an important enzymatic component, which is required for chitin formation in the cuticles and cuticular linings of other tissues in insects. CHSs have been divided into two classes, class A and B, based on their amino acid sequence similarities and functions. Class A CHS (CHS-A) is specifically expressed in the epidermis and related ectodermal cells such as tracheal cells, while expression of class B CHS (CHS-B) is expressed in gut epithelial cells that produce peritrophic matrices. In this study, we cloned the CHS-A gene from the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua. The SeCHS-A mRNA was expressed in all developmental stages and specifically in the epidermis and tracheae tissue by RT-PCR analysis. Expression of SeCHS-A gene was suppressed by feeding double-stranded RNA (dsRNASeCHS-A, 150 ng/larva) in the fifth instar of S. exigua. The suppression of SeCHS-A gene expression significantly induced mortality on pupal stage. Also, larvae fed with dsRNASeCHS-A significantly enhanced pathogenicity of an entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana ANU1. These results suggest that the SeCHS-A gene plays an important role in development of S. exigua and dsRNA, which is a specific to SeCHS-A gene, may be applied to effective pest control with B. bassiana.

        We cloned seven genes encoding chitin synthases (CHSs) by PCR amplification from genomic DNAs of four strains of the genus Sporobolomyces and of Bensingtonia subrosea using degenerated primers based on conserved regions of the CHS genes. Though amino acid
