Abstract
Apis cerana abansis is a unique ecological type of the Asian bees, Apis cerana, distributed mainly over China’s western Sichuan plateau. We used Illumina sequencing to obtain the complete mitochondrial genome of A. c. abansis and determined the phylogenetic relationships between A. c. abansis and other Apis cerana ecotypes. The mitogenome of A. c. abansis contains 15 694 bps and includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes and 1 A+T-rich control region. All protein-coding genes are initiated by ATT or ATG codons and terminated by the typical stop codons, TAA or TAG, but the start codon of the ATP8 gene (one of the 13 protein-coding genes) is ATC. The ML phylogenetic tree based on the 13 protein-coding genes showed that A. c. abansis formed a sister group with the Yun-Gui Plateau Chinese bee and the Central China Chinese bee. This study provides a scientific basis for the protection and breeding of A. c. abansis.
摘要 赤眼蜂(Apis cerana abansis)是亚洲蜜蜂(Apis cerana)的一个独特生态类型,主要分布在中国川西高原。我们利用Illumina测序技术获得了A. c. abansis的完整线粒体基因组,并确定了A. c. abansis与其他中华蜜蜂生态型之间的系统发育关系。A. c. abansis的线粒体基因组包含15 694 bps,包括13个蛋白编码基因、22个tRNA基因、2个rRNA基因和1个富含A+T的控制区。所有蛋白编码基因的起始密码子均为 ATT 或 ATG,终止密码子为典型的终止密码子 TAA 或 TAG,但 ATP8 基因(13 个蛋白编码基因之一)的起始密码子为 ATC。基于13个蛋白编码基因的ML系统发生树显示,A. c. abansis与云贵高原中华蜂和华中中华蜂为姊妹群。该研究为中蜂保护和育种提供了科学依据。
