Like other Sitona mitogenomes, the 6 tRNA gene box is ordered RNSAEF, supporting the hypothesis that this signature is common to, and potentially diagnostic, of this genus. The Trojan Female Technique (TFT) is a genetic pest control strategy that exploits mitochondrial DNA alleles that affect male, but not female fertility and fitness. The complete mitogenome is an essential first step in exploring the utility of TFT for the control of S. obsoletus.
