Nuclear and Mitochondrial Genome Assemblies of the Beetle, Zygogramma bicolorata, a Globally Important Biocontrol Agent of Invasive Weed Parthenium hysterophorus

Implementing a genetic-based approach to achieve the full potential of classical biocontrol programs has been advocated for decades. The availability of genome-level information brings the opportunity to scrutinize biocontrol traits for their efficacy and evolvability. However, implementation of thi...

description Implementing a genetic-based approach to achieve the full potential of classical biocontrol programs has been advocated for decades. The availability of genome-level information brings the opportunity to scrutinize biocontrol traits for their efficacy and evolvability. However, implementation of this advocacy remains limited to few instances. Biocontrol of a globally noxious weed, Parthenium hysterophorus, by the leaf-feeding beetle, Zygogramma bicolorata, has been in place for more than four decades now, with varying levels of success. As the first step in providing genetic-based improvement to this biocontrol program, we describe the nuclear and mitochondrial assemblies of Z. bicolorata. We assembled the genome from the long-read sequence data, error corrected with high-throughput short reads and checked for contaminants and sequence duplication to produce a 936 Mb nuclear genome. With 96.5% Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Orthologs completeness and the long terminal repeat assembly index 12.91, we present a reference-quality assembly that appeared to be repeat rich at 62.7% genome-wide and consists of 29,437 protein-coding regions. We detected signature of nuclear insertion of mitochondrial fragments in 80 nuclear positions comprising 13 kb out of 17.9 kb mitochondria genome sequence. This genome, along with its annotations, provides a valuable resource to gain further insights into the biocontrol traits of Z. bicolorata for improving the control of the invasive weed P. hysterophorus.
