Characterization of the mitochondrial genome of a high royal jelly-producing honeybee strain (Apis mellifera ligustica)
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 hookah acc an A + T content of 84.99%.It contained the typical 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, two ribosomal R
