The polyphagous cotton leafworm () is one of the most destructive herbivorous insects worldwide. The present study reports the complete mitochondrial genome of collected from Egypt. The circular-mapping mitogenome was 15,408 bp in length with an overall A + T content of 81.1%, encoding a common set of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. Most PCGs were found to use conventional ATN as the start codon and TAN as the stop codon. The phylogenetic tree based on the nucleic acid sequences of 13 shared PCGs of 29 Noctuidae species revealed that and are sister species. The data in this study will be helpful to understand geographical genetic variations, phylogenetic relationships, and species identification of .
多食性棉铃虫是全球最具破坏性的食草昆虫之一。本研究报告了从埃及采集的多食性棉铃虫的完整线粒体基因组。该环状线粒体基因组长度为15408 bp,A+T总含量为81.1%,编码一套常见的37个基因,包括13个蛋白质编码基因(PCGs)、22个tRNA基因和两个rRNA基因。发现大多数PCGs使用常规的ATN作为起始密码子,TAN作为终止密码子。基于29种夜蛾科物种13个共享PCGs核酸序列构建的系统发育树表明,[具体物种名称1]和[具体物种名称2]是姐妹物种。本研究中的数据将有助于了解多食性棉铃虫的地理遗传变异、系统发育关系和物种鉴定。
