Molecular Systematic Analysis Of Some Species Belonging To Chrysomelidae Latreille, 1802 (Insecta: Coleoptera) By rDNA ITS2 Region And mtDNA COI Gene Region Markers
Project no. 433 · Status: Kapanmış · 2017
Summary
In this study, lineages of some species of Chrysolina and Gonioctena belonging to Chrysomelidae family were tried to be determined by DNA barcoding according to mtDNA COI gene. The decisiveness of results obtained from double marker system (COI and ITS2) and ITS2 region to determine genetic diversity was tried to be revealed. Analysis of the data was carried out using neighbour joining (NJ), maximum likelihood (ML), maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian Inference methods. Similar findings were obtained as a result of COI gene and ITS2 region markers analyses. Thus, findings showed that ITS2 region can also be used for DNA barcoding as well as COI gene.
