The fall armyworm,
Spodoptera frugiperda
, is a serious pest in large numbers on more than 350 plant species in the world. We have determined a 15,388 bp mitogenome of
S. frugiperda
which includes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNAs. The base composition was AT-biased (81.3%). Phylogenetic trees present that Korean
S. frugiperda
placed in basal position of
S. frugiperda
clade.
S. frugiperda
mitochondrial genome can be used for understanding recent active migration of
S. frugiperda
.
We have determined a mitochondrial genome of Ricania speculum (Walker, 1851) collected in Jeollabuk-do, Republic of Korea. The circular mitogenome of R. speculum is 15,530 bp long which is shorter than that of the previous mitogenome of R. speculum by 199 bp. It includes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNAs. Intraspecific variation between two mitogenome of R. speculum was investigated: 171 SNPs and 18 INDELs were identified, presenting a high level of intraspecific variations on mitochondrial genome.
We have determined the second mitochondrial genome of Alphitobius diaperinus Panzer, 1797 collected in Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea. The circular mitogenome of A. diaperinus is 15,512 bp long which is slightly longer than that of the previous mitogenome of A. diaperinus. It includes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNAs. The base composition was AT-biased (72.4%). Intraspecific variation between two mitogenome of A. diaperinus was investigated: one SNP and one INDEL were identified, presenting the low level of intraspecific variations on mitochondrial genome.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
