As a significant group of agricultural and forestry pests, Coccomorpha warrants in-depth investigation into their environmental adaptation mechanisms. This study conducted a comparative genomic analysis using five published chromosome-level genomes of Coccomorpha species. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the…

Soft scale insects (Hemiptera, Coccidae) are important pests of various agricultural and horticultural crops and ornamental plants. They have negative impacts on agriculture and forestry. The tribe Coccini represents one of the most ancient evolutionary lineages of soft scale insects. However, no complete Coccini…

Background: The mitochondrial genome has been used for understanding higher-level phylogenetic relationships within Coccomorpha. we sequenced and analyzed the first mitochondrial genome of Xylococcus castanopsis Wu & Huang, 2017 to elucidate its genomic features and phylogenetic position. Methods: The complete…

AbstractThe genus Coccus from Korea is reviewed, including a new species, C.ficicolasp. n., and a first record of C.malloti (Takahashi, 1956). The new species is characterized by a distinctive pattern of ventral tubular ducts on medial area of head and thorax, and submarginal area of abdomen. The adult female of…

Mealybugs are frequently known for being pest insects to both ornamental and large-scale agricultural crops. Yet despite their agricultural importance, the genomic resources for this group remain quite small. One such species is the hibiscus mealybug, Nipaecoccus viridis (Newstead) (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha…

Scale insects are of interest both to basic researchers for their unique reproductive biology and to applied researchers for their pest status. In spite of this interest, there remain few genomic resources for this group of insects. To begin addressing this lack of data, we present the genome sequence of the tuliptree…

Unicellular green algae of the genus Coccomyxa are recognized for their worldwide distribution and ecological versatility. Most species described to date live in close association with various host species, such as in lichen associations. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms that drive such symbiotic…

The calcite platelets of coccolithophores (Haptophyta), the coccoliths, are among the most elaborate biomineral structures. How these unicellular algae accomplish the complex morphogenesis of coccoliths is still largely unknown. It has long been proposed that the cytoskeleton plays a central role in shaping the growing…

'Thomas Pröschold' 'Assaf Sukenik'] Most marine coccoid and sarcinoid green algal species have traditionally been placed within genera dominated by species from freshwater or soil habitats. For example, the genera Chlorocystis and Halochlorococcum contain exclusively marine species; however, their familial and ordinal…

Globally, Marteilia parasites have been associated with significant mass mortality events in populations of commercially important bivalve molluscs, frequently resulting in large-scale fishery collapses and substantial socio-economic impacts. The Wash Estuary, UK, supports several bivalve fisheries, and among these…

Coccidioides is a dimorphic fungus responsible for Valley Fever and is the cause of severe morbidity and mortality in the infected population. Although there is some insight into the genes, pathways, and growth media involved in the parasitic to saprophytic growth transition, the exact determinants that govern this…
