Abstract
We announce the complete circularized mitochondrial genome assemblies of Diorhabda carinata and Diorhabda carinulata, beetle species introduced to North America for the biological control of invasive shrubs of the genus Tamarix L. (Tamaricaceae). The assemblies (16,232 and 16,298 bp, respectively) each comprise 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and a noncoding region.
Highlights
We announce the complete circularized mitochondrial genome assemblies of Diorhabda carinata and Diorhabda carinulata, beetle species introduced to North America for the biological control of invasive shrubs of the genus Tamarix L. (Tamaricaceae)
We produced a 26-generation inbred line of D. carinata originating from Qarshi, Uzbekistan (38.86°N, 65.72°E)
A five-generation inbred line of D. carinulata was produced from a laboratory culture established from field-collected beetles in Lovelock, NV (40.02°N, 118.52°W), where D. carinulata from Fukang, China (44.17°N, 87.98°E), was released in 2001
Summary
We announce the complete circularized mitochondrial genome assemblies of Diorhabda carinata and Diorhabda carinulata, beetle species introduced to North America for the biological control of invasive shrubs of the genus Tamarix L. (Tamaricaceae). D. carinulata failed to produce stable hybrids with the other three clades [2]. We used a single male from full-sibling inbred lines developed from continuous cultures of each species at the Palisade Insectary, Palisade, CO. We produced a 26-generation inbred line of D. carinata originating from Qarshi, Uzbekistan (38.86°N, 65.72°E).
