英文摘要：

[Objectives] The rice leaf folder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis（Guenee）, is one of four rice pest insects that cause serious crop damage. In recent years, chitin synthesis and metabolism has become a focus of pest control research. Cloning and spatio-temporal expression of two chitin synthases, and other two key enzymes in the chitin biosynthetic pathway encoding genes in C. medinalis, were conducted to reveal the function of these genes. [Methods] Based on transcriptome data, we used the PCR and RACE techniques to clone the full length c DNA sequences of 4 key enzymes in the chitin biosynthetic pathway. Prediction of the structure, sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis of the products of these 4 genes were performed using different bioinformatics software. The relative expression levels of the 4 genes in different developmental stages and larval tissues of C. medinalis were determined with quantitative Real-time PCR. [Results] Two full-length c DNA sequences encoding chitin synthase, and two full-length c DNA sequences encoding other two key enzymes related to the chitin biosynthetic pathway, were obtained. These were; Chitin Synthase A（CHSA）, Chitin Synthase B（CHSB）, Phosphoacetylglucosamine Mutase（PGM） and UDP-N-acetylglucosamine pyrophosphorylase（UAP）（hereafter Cm CHSA, Cm CHSB, Cm PGM and Cm UAP, respectively）. Sequence analysis shows that the full length of the Cm CHSA gene is 4 868 bp, which encodes a polypeptide of 1 564 amino acids, the full length of the Cm CHSB gene is 4 651 bp, which encodes a polypeptide of 1 525 amino acids, the full length of Cm PGM gene is 1 934 bp, which encodes a polypeptide of 548 amino acids, and the full length of Cm UAP gene is 1 837 bp, which encodes a polypeptide of 487 amino acids. The results of RT-q PCR indicate that Cm UAP and Cm PGM had higher expression in hemolymph, whereas Cm CHSA was more highly expressed in the head and integument than the midgut and Cm CHSB was more highly expressed in the midgut than in other tissues.
