Abstract

Elaeidobius kamerunicus is the most important insect pollinator in oil palm plantations. In this study, the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of E. kamerunicus (17.729 bp), a member of the Curculionidae family, will be reported. The mitogenome consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and a putative control region (CR). Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) using maximum Likelihood (ML) methods indicated that E. kamerunicus belongs to the Curculionidae family. This mitochondrial genome provides essential information for understanding genetic populations, phylogenetics, molecular evolution, and other biological applications in this species.

摘要

毛叶蝉（Elaeidobius kamerunicus）是油棕人工林中最重要的昆虫传粉者。在这项研究中，将报告Curculionidae家族成员kamerunicus（17.729 bp）的线粒体基因组（有丝分裂基因组）。有丝分裂基因组由13个蛋白质编码基因（PCG），22个转移RNA基因（tRNA），2个核糖体RNA基因（rRNA）和一个假定的控制区（CR）组成。系统进化分析基于13种蛋白质编码基因（PCGs）的最大似然（ML）方法表明，kamerunicus属于Curculionidae家族。该线粒体基因组为了解该物种的遗传种群，系统发育，分子进化和其他生物学应用提供了重要信息。
