Sorbus folgneri (C.K.Schneid.) Rehder is widely distributed tree species across China which can be used as medicine, building materials and ornamental plants. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of S. folgneri was determined using next-generation sequencing. The entire cp genome was determined to be 163,464 bp in length. It contained large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) regions of 86,721 and 17,961 bp, respectively, which were separated by a pair of 29,391bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome contained 133 genes, including 88 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the genome is 36.4%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 17 chloroplast genomes reveals that S. folgneri is most related with Sorbus alnifolia.
Aclees cribratus Gyllenhyl (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is an important pest of fig. In this study, the complete mitogenome of A. cribratus was determined, which was 17,329 bp in length and contained 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 control regions. The phylogenetic analysis based on mitogenomes showed that A. cribratus is the sister group of Molytinae.
Pinus yunnanensis is distributed in Southwestern China which is one of the main forest tree species. It is used for construction, railway sleepers, boards, furniture, and wood pulp. Due to the genetic infiltration hybridization between P. yunnanensis with P. densata and P. kesiya, the classification boundary between these groups is blurred and the identification is difficult. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequence of P. yunnanensis was determined using next-generation sequencing. The entire cp genome was determined to be 119,707 bp in length. It contained large single-copy (LSC) and small single-copy (SSC) regions of 65,619 and 53,098 bp, respectively, which were separated by a pair of 495bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome contained 116 genes, including 76 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the genome is 38.5%. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 23 chloroplast genomes reveals that P. yunnanensis is most related with P. kesiya.
The chinaberry yellow-banded longhorn beetle,
Anoplophora horsfieldi
Hope 1842 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is an important pest on many economic tree species. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of
A. horsfieldi
was determined, which was 15,837 bp in length and contained 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA, 22 tRNA genes, and a non-coding A + T-rich region. The phylogenetic analysis based on mitochondrial genomes showed that
A. horsfieldi
is sister to a clade formed by
A. chinensis
and
A. glabripennis
.
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.
