| Popis: | Pieridae is a butterfly family whose higher classification has not yet been settled. In this research, we used completed mitochondrial genome sequence to identify and analyze the relationship of three subfamilies of Pieridae (Dismorphiinae, Coliadinae and Pierinae). We have sequenced the complete mitogenomes of Aporia crataegi, Gonepteryx rhamni, and Appias remedios, which are 15,148 bp, 15,118 bp and 15,223 bp in length, respectively. These three mitogenomes have a typical set of 37 genes and an A+T-rich region. The protein-coding genes, excluding the cox1 gene, in the three mitogenomes are initiated by the typical ATN codons. The putative initiation codon for the cox1 gene in the three species is CGA. tRNA genes in the three Pieridae mitogenomes show typical clover leaf structures, except tRNASer(AGN) which lacks the dihydrouridine (DHU) stem. The length of A+T-rich region varies in the three species, which leads to the variation in the mitochondrial genome size. The characterizations of the three mitogenomes enrich our knowledge on the Lepidopteran mitogenome and provide us genetic information to reconstruct the phylogenetic tree. Finally, the phylogenetic analyses using mitogenome data showed that the relationship among three subfamilies of Pieridae is (Dismorphiinae + (Coliadinae + Pierinae)). |
