RESUMO
The lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) is a primary pest of starch-containing stored products worldwide. Here, we report characterization of mitogenome of R. dominica and its phylogenetic position. Rhyzopertha dominica complete mitochondrial genome (GenBank accession number MN527959) from Jingziguan town consisted of a circular DNA molecule of 15,862 bp (with 74.36% A + T content). The mitogenome comprised of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 22 tRNA and two rRNA genes. PCGs had typical ATN (Met) initiation codons and were terminated by typical TAN stop codons.
RESUMO
The saw-toothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis Linné, is a well-known stored-product insect. Beetles were obtained from Xichuan County and the mitochondrial genome was characterized (GenBank accession number MN535903). The mitogenome consists of a circular DNA molecule of 15,941 bp, with only 27.36% GC content. It comprises 13 protein-coding, 22 tRNA, and 2 rDNA genes. The protein-coding genes have typical ATN (Met) initiation codons and are terminated by typical TAN stop codons.
