Detection and identification of citrus long-horned beetle, Anoplophora chinensis (Forster, 1771) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) a new pest in Antalya Province, Turkey by sequencing of mtCOI region

Hüseyin GÖÇMEN

In 2016, Anoplophora chinensis (Forster, 1771) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) was recorded for the first time on Acer negundo L. in Antalya Province, Turkey. Genetic identification of adult samples was made based on approximate alignment of a 729-bp sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene region. The sequence alignment in the BLAST analysis from the NCBI Genbank showed 99% similarity with A. chinensis. The sequence data was deposited to NCBI Genbank. A phylogenetic analysis was performed by using the sequence data belonging to A. chinensis and some species of same genus obtained fr ...Более
