Abstract

We have cloned and characterized a 2,778-kb XbaI segment of the mitochondrial genome of the locust, Locusta migratoria. It harbours portions of the ND4 and the ND1 genes, the entire genes for ND6, ND4L and cytochrome b, and the genes for three mitochondrial tRNAs. The genes are arranged in an order which is conserved between orthopteran and dipteran insects. The analysis of the cytochrome b sequence, and its comparison with other systems, supports the current model structure for this polypeptide.
