Mitochondrial genome of the pine tip moth Rhyacionia leptotubula (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae).
The complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of the pine tip moth Rhyacionia leptotubula (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) was determined. The entire genome is 15,877 bp in length, encoding the standard set of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and an A+T-rich control region. The gene order is typical of Lepidoptera and differs from the insect ancestral type in the location of trnM. All protein-coding sequences start with a typical ATN codon, with the exception of COI, which begins with CGA. All tRNA genes could be folded into the typical cloverleaf secondary structure, except trnS2 lacking of dihydrouridine arm. Additionally, the 7-bp long ATACTAA motif is present in the intergenic space sequence located between trnS1 and nad1, and a long T-stretch with conserved ATAGA motif exists in the A+T-rich region, as found in Lepidoptera. The mitogenome given here provides important molecular information to phylogenetic and population genetic researches.
