Annotation of chitin biosynthesis genes in Diaphorina citri, the Asian citrus psyllid

The polysaccharide chitin is critical for the formation of many insect structures, including the exoskeleton, and is required for normal development. Here we report the annotation of three genes from the chitin synthesis pathway in the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera:...
