Phytopathogenic fungi secrete chitin deacetylase (CDA) to escape the host’s immunological defense during infection. The deacetylation activity of CDA toward chitin is essential for fungal virulence.
Yang Qing, a professor with the CAAS Institute of Plant Protection, has industrialized this innovation with Hebei Zhongbao Green Crop Technology Co., Ltd. Significant progress have been achieved, including the formal naming of the new molecule by the National Pesticide Standardization Technical Committee, the sealing of original active ingredient and pesticide formulations, and the establishment of enterprise standards.
Towards the commercial use of chitin deacetylase as a green pesticide
