AI Article Synopsis

  • - The mitochondrial genome of the citrus leafminer, a type of moth, was sequenced for the first time, revealing it to be 15,416 base pairs long with a high A+T content of 81.9%.
  • - A total of 37 genes were identified, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes, with most PCGs following typical start and stop codon patterns.
  • - Phylogenetic analysis showed consistent relationships within the Gracillariidae family, indicating the evolutionary connections among its members.

Article Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the citrus leafminer, (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) was sequenced for the first time, which was 15,416 bp in length and with an A + T content of 81.9%. The common set of 37 genes (13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes) were all annotated. Most PCGs had standard ATN start codons and TAN stop codons. Most tRNA genes exhibited typical cloverleaf secondary structures, whereas the dihydrouridine (DHU) arm of was reduced. The mitochondrial phylogenetic analyses consistently recovered the relationships within Gracillariidae.
