phylogenetic analysis and rapid identification of the whitefly, bemisia afer, in china. | the phylogenetic relationship between the whitefly bemisia afer (priesner & hosny) (hemiptera: aleyrodidae) from china and other populations among the world were analyzed based on the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase i (mtcoi) gene. phylogenetic analysis of mtcoi sequences and those of reference b. afer sequences showed that the populations of the species could be separated into 5 clades (i-v). there were at least two clades of the species from china (iv and v). these data suggested that b. afer ... | 2010 | 20673071 |
the complete mitochondrial genome of aleurocanthus camelliae: insights into gene arrangement and genome organization within the family aleyrodidae. | there are numerous gene rearrangements and transfer rna gene absences existing in mitochondrial (mt) genomes of aleyrodidae species. to understand how mt genomes evolved in the family aleyrodidae, we have sequenced the complete mt genome of aleurocanthus camelliae and comparatively analyzed all reported whitefly mt genomes. the mt genome of a. camelliae is 15,188 bp long, and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two rrna genes, 21 trna genes and a putative control region (genbank: ku761949). the ... | 2016 | 27827992 |
six new record species of whiteflies (hemiptera: aleyrodidae) infesting morus alba in china. | to determine the species of whiteflies occurring on mulberry, morus alba l. (rosales: moraceae) in china, we collected samples in more than 87 sites in 16 provinces of china from 2008 to 2011. in total, 10 species, representing seven genera of the subfamily aleyrodinae, were identified. of these, six species are newly recorded on mulberry in china, namely, aleuroclava ficicola takahashi, aleuroclava gordoniae (takahashi), aleurotrachelus camelliae (kuwana), bemisia afer (priesner & hosny), bemis ... | 2014 | 25368095 |
mitochondrial dna variability and development of a pcr diagnostic test for populations of the whitefly bemisia afer (priesner and hosny). | the whitefly, bemisia afer (hemiptera; aleyrodidae), is emerging as a major agricultural pest. the current identification methods based on adult and pupal morphology are laborious and unreliable. a diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (pcr) protocol was developed for the first time in this study to discriminate b. afer from other whitefly species. primers specific to mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase i gene (mtcoi) were designed to amplify a band of approx 650 bp. the pcr products were sequenced ... | 2007 | 17401147 |
a complete mitochondrial dna genome derived from a chinese population of the bemisia afer species complex (hemiptera: aleyrodidae). | we report here the sequence of a complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of a population of bemisia afer species complex, which was collected from abutilonaviecnnae gaerner at linyi, shan dong province of china (hereafter b. afer_china_ag) (genbank accession number: kr819174). the mitogenome of b. afer_china_ag is 15 300 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer rnas, 2 ribosomal rnas, and 2 control regions. the content and arrangement of mitochondrial genes of b. afer_china_ag exh ... | 2016 | 26218308 |
the complete mitochondrial genome of bemisia afer (hemiptera: aleyrodidae). | the length of the bemisia afer (priesner & hosny) (hemiptera: aleyrodidae) mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) is 14,968 bp and consists of 13 protein coding genes (pcgs), 21 transfer rnas (trna), 2 ribosomal rnas and 1 control region. apart from one serine transfer rna gene (trna-ser) which is absent, the synteny is consistent with the mitogenomes of other whitefly species. the overall base composition of the heavy strand for a, g, t and c is 28.96, 18.97, 36.7 and 15.37%, respectively, with a sl ... | 2016 | 24438292 |
