Synonyms: | adult chitin-based cuticle anabolism, adult chitin-based cuticle biosynthetic process, adult chitin-based cuticle formation, adult chitin-based cuticle synthesis, adult cuticle anabolism, adult cuticle biosynthetic process, adult cuticle formation, adult cuticle synthesis |
Definition: | Synthesis and deposition of the chitin-based cuticle of adults following the apolysis of the pupal cuticle. The adult insect cuticle contains cuticullin, a protein epicuticle and a lamellate procuticle. An example of this process is adult chitin-based cuticle development in Drosophila melanogaster. |
