We present a genome assembly from an individual male Zeuzera pyrina (the Leopard Moth, Arthropoda; Insecta; Lepidoptera; Cossidae). The sequence is 687 megabases in span. Most of the scaffolded into 31 chromosomal pseudomolecules, including assembled Z sex chromosome. mitochondrial has also been and 15.3 kilobases length. Gene annotation this on Ensembl identifie...

the hereditary ataxias comprise a wide spectrum of heterogeneous disorders that share three features: ataxia, involvement of cerebellum or its connections, and heritability. in many hereditary ataxias, the underlying gene mutations have been identified. knowledge of the causative mutations allows a rational classification of hereditary ataxias as autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant or mater...

abstract objective ethylmalonic encephalopathy (ee) is a severe mitochondrial disease of early infancy clinically characterized by a combination of developmental delay, progressive pyramidal signs and vascular lesions including petechial purpura, orthostatic acrocyanosis and chronic hemorrhagic diarrhoea. biochemical hallmarks of the disease are persistently high levels of lactate, and c4–c5-ac...

bemisia tabaci (gennadius) (hemiptera: aleyrodidae), is one of the most important pest of vegetable and fruit crops. this polyphagous pest has a range of natural enemies including the parasitoid eretmocerus mundus (merect) (hymenoptera: aphelinidae). to determine the molecular profile and taxonomic status of iranian isolates of e. mundus, parasitized b. tabaci samples were collected from cotton...

The rice mitochondrial genome has a sequence homologous to the gene for ribosomal protein S14 (rps14), but the coding sequence is interrupted by internal stop codons. A functional rps14 gene was isolated from the rice nuclear genome, suggesting a gene-transfer event from the mitochondrion to the nucleus. The nuclear rps14 gene encodes a long N-terminal extension showing significant similarity t...

Mitochondrial genomes are useful tools for inferring evolutionary history. However, many taxa are poorly represented by available data. Thus, to further understand the phylogenetic potential of complete mitochondrial genome sequence data in Annelida (segmented worms), we examined the complete mitochondrial sequence for Clymenella torquata (Maldanidae) and an estimated 80% of the sequence of Rif...

Mitochondrial gene expression was studied using an electrotransformation protocol to introduce foreign DNA into purified wheat mitochondria. Optimal conditions for DNA uptake and transient gene expression were determined. We show here that a DNA plasmid containing either a cognate or a non-cognate gene under the control of a plant mitochondrial promoter is incorporated into the organelle and fa...

Maruca vitrata is one of the primary biotic constraints for pigeon pea production in India. The present study assessed genetic variation and population structure M. from diverse agro-ecologies India using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene. A low number segregating sites (10), haplotypes (13), nucleotide diversity (0.00136), overall mean distance (0.0013) were observed among populations....

Synthesis and assembly of the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system requires genes located both in the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, but how gene expression is coordinated between these two compartments is not fully understood. One level of control is through regulated expression mitochondrial ribosomal proteins and other factors required for mitochondrial translation and...

BACKGROUND The mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder of infancy or childhood characterized by decreased mitochondrial DNA copy number in affected tissues. Mutations in 2 genes involved in deoxyribonucleotide metabolism, the deoxyguanosine kinase gene (DGK) and the thymidine kinase 2 gene (TK2), have been related to this syndrome. OBJECTIVE To describe 3 sibli...
