Abstract excerpt
Five mitochondrial protein-encoding genes (COX1, COX2, CytB, ND4 and ND5) from the wheat midge, Sitodiplosis mosellana (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), were sequenced and compared with those of 3 other Cecidoidae species, Mayetiola destructor, Rhopalomyia pomum and Asphondylia rosetta. These genes shared similar AT content (74.0-80.1%) and base substitution bias in favour of transversions (68.87-79.72%) over transitions...
