Abstract Background Taxus wallichiana is an important species for paclitaxel production. Previous genome versions spp. have been limited by extensive gaps, hindering the complete annotation and mining of (known as Taxol commercially) synthesis pathway-related genes. Results Here, we present first phased high-quality reference T. wallichiana, which significantly improves assembly quality corrects large-scale errors in previous versions. The 2 haplotypes are 9.87 Gb 9.98 length, respectively,...
Abstract Background Papilio bianor Cramer, 1777 (commonly known as the Chinese peacock butterfly) (Insecta, Lepidoptera, Papilionidae) is a widely distributed swallowtail butterfly with wide number of geographic populations ranging from southeast Russia to China, Japan, India, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Thailand. Its wing color consists both pigmentary colored scales (black, reddish) structural (iridescent blue or green dust). A high-quality reference genome P. an important foundation for...
Abstract The leaf resemblance of Kallima (Nymphalidae) butterflies is an important ecological adaptive mechanism that increases their survival. However, the genetic underlying adaptation remains unclear owing to a dearth genomic information. Here, we determined karyotype ( n = 31) dead‐leaf butterfly inachus , and generated high‐quality, chromosome‐level assembly (568.92 Mb; contig N50: 19.20 Mb). We also identified candidate Z W chromosomes. To our knowledge, this first study report on...
Abstract The efficiency of RNA interference (RNAi) has always limited the research on phenotype innovation Lepidoptera insects. Previous studies have found that double‐stranded RNA‐degrading enzyme (dsRNase) is an important factor in RNAi efficiency, but there been no relevant reports butterflies (Papilionoidea). Papilio xuthus one models with extensive experimental application value. To explore effect dsRNase butterflies, six genes ( PxdsRNase 1–6 ) were identified P. genome, and their...
The nearly complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Phyllium westwoodii, a typical leaf mimic insect in Phasmatodea, was obtained this study. This mitogenome is 17,222 bp length and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNAs), two ribosomal (rRNAs) almost control regions. All PCGs initiate with 'ATN' except for NAD4L that uses 'TTG' as the start codon, terminate 'TAA' COX2 single 'T' residue stop codon. phylogenetic analysis based on concatenated sequences rRNAs...
Papilio machaon was assigned as the type species for all butterflies by Linnaeus and P. bianor is a congener but exhibits great difference in morphology (especially larva adult color pattern) larval host plants from machaon. Thus, they are ideal models to investigate genetic mechanisms underlying plasticity between congeners. The reference genomes of both were dissected our previous studies, little known about their regulatory genome epigenetic regulation gene expression throughout...
