INTRODUCTION: is a diverse genus of insect-pathogenic fungi, some of which have significant medicinal value. METHODS: The complete mitogenomes of six species (, , , , , and ) were sequenced, assembled, and annotated in this study. Additionally, the previously published mitogenome of was also included for comparative analysis. RESULTS: The mitogenomes of these seven species are circular DNA molecules ranging length from 29,929 to 51,692bp, containing 15 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNAs, and 25-27 tRNAs, as well as four to 21 open reading frames (ORFs). The gene appears to be under relaxed selection pressure across species. The non-conserved PCGs, such as homing endonucleases and proteins of unknown functions, show dynamic evolutionary patterns, highlighting the genetic diversity among the species. Introns, recognized as key contributors to mitogenome size variation, frequently undergo gain and loss events, further contributing to genomic diversity. The comparative analysis revealed both conserved and variable elements within the mitogenomes of the seven species. Phylogenetic analysis using 14 PCGs generated a well-supported topology that clarified the evolutionary relationships among species. DISCUSSION: In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the conservatism and variability of mitogenomes within the genus , enhancing our understanding of their origin, evolution, and genetic diversity.
引言:是昆虫病原真菌的一个多样化属,其中一些具有重要的药用价值。 方法:本研究对六个物种(、、、、、和)的完整线粒体基因组进行了测序、组装和注释。此外,还纳入了先前发表的的线粒体基因组进行比较分析。 结果:这七个物种的线粒体基因组是环状DNA分子,长度在29,929至51,692bp之间,包含15个蛋白质编码基因(PCGs)、两个rRNA和25 - 27个tRNA,以及4至21个开放阅读框(ORFs)。基因在物种间似乎处于松弛的选择压力之下。非保守的PCGs,如归巢内切酶和功能未知的蛋白质,呈现出动态的进化模式,突出了物种间的遗传多样性。内含子被认为是线粒体基因组大小变异的关键因素,经常经历获得和丢失事件,进一步增加了基因组的多样性。比较分析揭示了这七个物种线粒体基因组中的保守和可变元件。使用14个PCGs进行的系统发育分析产生了一个得到充分支持的拓扑结构,阐明了物种间的进化关系。 讨论:总之,本研究为属内线粒体基因组的保守性和变异性提供了有价值的见解,增强了我们对其起源、进化和遗传多样性的理解。
