Comparative mitochondrial genomes provide new insights into the true wild progenitor and origin of domestic silkworm Bombyx mori
2019, International Journal of Biological MacromoleculesCitation Excerpt :Cytogenetic studies have established that there exists two types of wild silkworms, Chinese B. mandarina and Japanese B. mamdarina. The former occurs in China and in far Eastern Russia (chromosome number 2n = 56, as in B. mori), and the latter in Japan and Southern Korea (2n = 54) [10,11]. Analyses of molecular marker and the amylase gene sequence have also found no genetically differentiated groups in Chinese wild silkworm populations [12,13].
The complete mitochondrial genome of the Ailanthus silkmoth, Samia cynthia cynthia (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae)
2013, GeneCitation Excerpt :The phylogenetic analyses yielded the same topological relationships for most of lepidopteran species. Each of the two phylogenetic analyses conducted in our study indicates the presence of two distinct groups: Saturniidae and Bombycidea, consistent with the morphological analysis and the previous findings (Arunkumar et al., 2006; Hwang et al., 1999; Kim et al., 2011; Mahendran et al., 2006; Shimada et al., 1995). Our phylogenetic analyses confirm the sister group relationship between Saturniini and Attacini within Saturniidae.
