The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) characteristics of the monotypic Lasiocampoidea are largely unknown, because only limited number mitogenomes is available from this superfamily. In study, we sequenced complete mitogenome lappet moth, Kunugia undans (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) and compared it to those macroheteroceran superfamilies (59 species in six superfamilies). 15,570-bp K. had one additional trnR that was located between trnA trnN loci feature unique Macroheterocera, including...

The Japanese oak silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai Guérin-Méneville, 1861 (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), is an important natural resource of industrial value for silk fiber production. Owing to a lack geographic and population genetic information, systematic domestication An. has not been possible yet. In this study, 10 microsatellite markers developed using next-generation sequencing two mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gene sequences (COI ND4) were used investigate the variation structure populations in...

Abstract We sequenced mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the wild silkmoth, Saturnia boisduvalii (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae), which occurs in mainland Korea, and compared it with other species Bombycoidea to characterize genomic evolution superfamily. found that composition arrangement genes 15,257‐bp S . are typical majority Lepidoptera, is biased toward A/T nucleotides, as previously reported. Comparison individual gene divergence among bombycoid showed ND6 was most variable ( p ‐distance...

The effects of cold storage temperature and exposure duration on different developmental stages spotted-wing drosophila (SWD) Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) 'Campbell Early' grapes were examined to establish a phytosanitary control method. immature (eggs, larvae pupae) SWD all dead after 6-d treatment at 1°C 8-d 1.5 2°C. Probit-9 estimated fourfold increase in achieve 99.9968% mortality, compared with the observed mortality. Efficacy tests using pupae, which most cold-tolerant...

The yellow-legged Asian hornet, Vespa velutina nigrithorax, which originated from Asia, has invaded several countries, including South Korea. In Korea, V. nigrithorax predation on honeybees is one of the most serious factors threatening apiculture. We sequenced complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) to better understand mitogenomic characteristics this species. 16,475 bp mitogenome consists a typical set genes, with an arrangement identical that congeneric possesses shortest A + T-rich...

Abstract We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of black‐tailed hornet, Vespa ducalis (Hymenoptera: Vespidae). The was 15,779‐bp long and contained typical sets genes [13 protein‐coding (PCGs), 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs]. V. A + T‐rich region 166‐bp shortest all Vespoidea genomes, including . highly biased toward A/T nucleotides—80.1 % in whole genome, 77.8 PCGs, 83.4–85.6 RNAs, 92.8 region. These values are well within range for regions mitogenomes. Start stop codons several...

The superfamily Yponomeutoidea, one of the early-derived groups in order Lepidoptera, consists 11 families. However, mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequences, popularly used for phylogeny and evolutionary tracing, are available only seven species across six genera five Thus, a larger variety mitogenome sequences Yponomeutoidea required to improve our understanding lepidopteran genomic evolution. In this study, we present complete Attevaaurea (Fitch, 1856), first family Attevidae...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the female-wingless bagworm moth, Eumeta variegata Snellen, 1879 (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), is 15,660 base pairs (bp) and contains a typical set genes (13 protein-coding [PCGs], 2 rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes) one non-coding region, with an arrangement identical to that observed in most lepidopteran genomes. Twelve PCGs contained ATN start codon, whereas COI had atypical CGA which frequently detected region COI. A + T-rich was unusually short only 94 bp....

Abstract In the present study, specimens of Dendrolimus superans collected from South Korea suggest presence D. sibiricus , instead . Comparisons wing morphology, female and male genitalia, 3′‐end region cytochrome c oxidase I ( COI ) gene sequence, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 2 sequence Korean with those Japan consistently supported in Korea. Phylogenetic analyses concatenated sequences ITS2 available types along specimens, were conducted using Bayesian inference (BI) maximum...

The flatid planthopper, Metcalfa pruinosa (Hemiptera: Flatidae), which is an invasive species, widespread in Korea. We sequenced a fragment of the COI from 536 individuals collected mainly Korea and European countries combined these sequence data with public data, totaling 830 worldwide. identification one shared haplotype only between USA, presence this North-West region Korea, highest diversity suggested that another point entry addition to South-East region, presumed sole Furthermore, it...

Abstract Despite the increasing demand for diverse Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. species in Korea, studies on related topics are limited, with majority of focusing functional evaluations, rather than genetic diversity. Therefore, this study, we explored diversity C. , a valuable medicinal plant collected from six island regions using genotyping-by-sequencing analysis. Specifically, aimed to understand variations, population structure and potential conservation improvement. The results...

The yellow-legged hornet, <italic>Vespa velutina nigrithorax</italic> (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), which invaded South Korea in 2003 caused a great damage to honeybee industry. In this study, we tested the efficacy of new attractant and on-the-market-attractant apiaries located Jeonnam area. As test result, it turned out that <italic>V. velutina</italic> was most dominant species. newly developed showed substantially high capture statistically supported (<italic>P</italic> &lt; 0.01). On other...

This study investigated the economic feasibility and environmental impacts of a commercialized cellulose bioethanol production in South Korea. As enzyme cost fundamentally affects average ethanol, low, medium, high price scenarios were analyzed by NPV, B/C, IRR. Only low scenario provides commercialization ethanol. spill-over effects, forward backward linkage effects over 127.6 177.2 billion KRW, while gross employment effect was 518 persons. For approximately 57,000TCO₂ per annum mitigated...

The Asian cavity-nesting honeybee, Apis cerana (Hymenoptera: Apidae), has been extensively studied for its biogeography and genetic diversity, but the molecules utilized in past studies were mainly ~90 bp long mitochondrial non-coding sequences, located between tRNALeu COII. Thus, additional molecular markers may enrich our understanding of diversity this valuable bee species. In study, we reviewed public genome database to find introns cDNA with assumption that these have less evolutionary...
