Identification of 20-Hydroxyecdysone Late-Response Genes in the Chitin Biosynthesis Pathway

Abstract

We conclude that SeTre-1, SeG6PI, SeUAP and SeCHSB in the chitin biosynthesis pathway are 20E late-response genes and 20E and its specific receptors plays a key role in the regulation of chitin biosynthesis via inducing their expression.
