Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Sitophilus zeamais was determined by an Illumina platform. This mitogenome was 18,531 bp in length, containing 13 protein coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes that is typical among curculionoidea. Stop codon was incomplete for ND4 gene and ND5. The non-coding intergenic regions have increased in size to 1033 bp due to expansion of tandem repeat arrays. Phylogenetic analysis on mitogenome of S. zeamais would further contribute to resolve phylogenetic position and interrelationships of Sitophilus.

玉米象鼻虫Sitophilus zeamais（鞘翅目：Curculionidae）的完整线粒体基因组

摘要

通过Illumina平台确定玉米Sitophilus zeamais的完整线粒体基因组（有丝分裂基因组）。该有丝分裂基因组的长度为18,531 bp，包含13种蛋白质编码基因，2个rRNA基因，22个tRNA基因，这在curculionoidea中是典型的。ND4基因和ND5的终止密码子不完整。由于串联重复序列阵列的扩增，非编码基因间区域的大小增加到1033 bp。对线粒体基因的系统发育分析玉米象将进一步有助于解决系统发育地位和相互关系玉米象。
