Abstract:
In this study, the complete 17,855 bp mitochondrial genome of Lorius chlorocercus was obtained using sanger sequencing. It consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNAs, 2 ribosomal RNAs, and a control region. The overall base composition is 22.5% T, 33.18% C, 30.42% A, and13.9% G. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using neighbour-joining (NJ) method based on 19 parrot species. Phylogenetic analysis showed that L. chlorocercus was closest to Melopsittacus undulates. The complete mitogenome data would be useful for further study on the molecular evolution of L. chlorocercus.
