ABSTRACT
Ceresium sinicum ornaticolle Pic, 1907 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is one of the main pests of pomegranate and citrus trees. In this study, we described the complete mitochondrial genome of C. sinicum ornaticolle. The total length of the mitochondrial genome was 15,817 bp, and the entire content of GC was 27.8%. The genome encoded 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs). The phylogenetic tree showed that C. sinicum ornaticolle was clustered with Allotraeus orientalis and Zoodes fulguratus. These results will provide the genetic information for understanding the genetic evolution of C. sinicum ornaticolle and the insights to control cerambycid pests.
ABSTRACT
Tenebroides mauritanicus Linnaeus, 1758 (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae) is a storage pest that feeds mainly on soybean and corn. In this study, we sequenced the entire mitochondrial genome of Tenebroides mauritanicus (GenBank accession number: OM161967). The total length of the mitochondrial genome is 15,696 bp, GC content is 29.65%, and the contents of each base is 38.37% A, 18.35% C, 11.30% G and 31.98% T, respectively. The genome encodes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs) and 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs). Phylogenetic analysis showed that Tenebroides mauritanicus is clustered with Byturus ochraceus. This study provides a piece of valuable genomic information for the population genetics, phylogeny, and molecular taxonomy of Tenebroides mauritanicus.
ABSTRACT
Arhopalus oberthuri is a pest which spreads in China, Laos, Japan and some other countries in Asia. The complete mitochondrial genome of A. oberthuri is 15,854 bp in length with 32.1% GC content, including 38.2% A, 20.4% C, 11.7% G, 29.7% T. There are 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA) and two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA) encoded in the genome. The graph of phylogenetic analysis gives the information that Arhopalus oberthuri is closer to Arhopalus unicolor. This study provided a scientific basis for the population genetics, phylogeny, and molecular taxonomy of A. oberthuri.
