Sequencing and characterization of mitochondrial genome of Eurytoma sp. (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae).

ABSTRACT: The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Eurytoma sp. (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae: Eurytominae) was determined in this study. The sequenced region is 14,946?bp with an A?+?T content of 82.65%, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 18 transfer RNAs, and a partial sequence of AT-rich region. All PCGs begin with typical ATN codons and use standard canonical TAA as their termination codons, except for atp6 gene, which stops with an incomplete codon T. A comparison of all the sequenced hymenopteran mitogenomes revealed that Eurytoma sp. has dramatic gene rearrangements, some of which is peculiar to Chalcidoidea. What's more, Maximum likelihood (ML) analysis highly supported the monophyly of both Chalcidoidea and Apocrita.
