Fig 1. Linear maps of the mitochondrial genomes of five Meloidogyne species.

The maps were drawn to scale. Dots interrupting the main genomic line indicate unknown sequences. All genes are encoded on the same strand of the mtDNA. Protein and rRNA genes have standard nomenclature. tRNA genes are designated by single-letter abbreviation. Two tRNAs for Leucine (L) and Serine (S) are present: L₁ (anticodon UAG), L₂ (UAA), S₁ (UCN) and S₂ (AGN). S^a, V^a, S^b, and V^b correspond to tRNA genes annotated differently in two previous studies (S^a and V^a in GenBank KJ139963 [23]; S^b and V^b in GenBank HG529223 [21]). Tandem repeats are represented by boxes labeled by the repeat length in kb followed by “R”.
