The complete mitochondrial genome of a high royal jelly-producing honeybee strain selected from Italian bees in China was determined. The genetic content was similar to other A. mellifera subspecies. Phylogenetic analysis indicated a close relationship between this strain and previously sequenced Italian bees.
The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of a high royal jelly-producing honeybee strain selected from Italian bees (Apis mellifera ligustica) in China was determined. The entire mitogenome was 16,467 bp in length with an A + T content of 84.99%. It contained the typical 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and a control region. The order and orientation of these genes were identical to those of other A. mellifera subspecies sequenced to date. Phylogenetic analysis supported that the high royal jelly-producing honeybee strain was sister to formerly sequenced Italian bees.
