The complete mitochondrial genome of oil palm pollinating weevil, Elaeidobius kamerunicus Faust. (Coleoptera : Curculionidae)

Elaeidobius kamerunicus is the most important insect pollinator in oil palm plantations. In this study, the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of E. kamerunicus (17.729 bp), a member of the Curculionidae family, will be reported. The mitogenome consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer...

Description
Summary:Elaeidobius kamerunicus is the most important insect pollinator in oil palm plantations. In this study, the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of E. kamerunicus (17.729 bp), a member of the Curculionidae family, will be reported. The mitogenome consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and a putative control region (CR). Phylogenetic analysis based on 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) using maximum Likelihood (ML) methods indicated that E. kamerunicus belongs to the Curculionidae family. This mitochondrial genome provides essential information for understanding genetic populations, phylogenetics, molecular evolution, and other biological applications in this species.
