tailieunhanh - The DNA barcoding data and genetic distance of leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) in Vietnam

DNA barcoding is a useful tool in identifying species, biodiversity assessment, and revealing phylogenetic relationships of living organisms in the world. However, the DNA barcode data for leaf beetles in Vietnam is lacking. In this study, sixteen DNA sequences of 658 bp of COI gene from nine species (five genera; three subfamilies) of Chrysomelidae in Vietnam were (obtained). Intra- and inter-specific diversities, and phylogenetic relationships of these species were analyzed. | ACADEMIA JOURNAL OF BIOLOGY 2020 42 4 25 31 DOI 2615-9023 THE DNA BARCODING DATA AND GENETIC DISTANCE OF LEAF BEETLES Coleoptera Chrysomelidae IN VIETNAM Nguyen Thi Dinh Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources VAST Vietnam Received 8 June 2020 accepted 20 September 2020 ABSTRACT DNA barcoding is a useful tool in identifying species biodiversity assessment and revealing phylogenetic relationships of living organisms in the world.
