摘要
The complete mitochondrial genome of Chinese Bombyx mandarina(ChBm) was determined.The cir-cular genome is 15682 bp long, and contains a typical gene complement, order, and arrangement iden-tical to that of Bombyx mori(B.mori) and Japanese Bombyx mandarina(JaBm) except for two addi-tional tRNA-like structures:tRNASer(TGA)-like and tRNAIle(TAT)-like.All protein-coding sequences are initi-ated with a typical ATN codon except for the COI gene, which has a 4-bp TTAG putative initiator codon.Eleven of 13 protein-coding genes(PCGs) have a complete termination codon(all TAA), but the re-maining two genes terminate with incomplete codons.All tRNAs have the typical clover-leaf structures of mitochondrial tRNAs, with the exception of tRNASer(TGA)-like, with a four stem-and-loop structure.The length of the A+T-rich region of ChBm is 484 bp, shorter than those of JaBm(747 bp) and B.mori(494―499 bp).Phylogenetic analysis among B.mori, ChBm, JaBm, and Antheraea pernyi(Anpe) showed that B.mori is more closely related to ChBm than JaBm.The earliest divergence time estimate for B.mori-ChBm and B.mori-JaBm is about 1.08±0.18―1.41±0.24 and 1.53±0.20―2.01±0.26 Mya, respec-tively.ChBm and JaBm diverged around 1.11±0.16―1.45±0.21 Mya.
