The complete mitochondrial genome of Eutrichosiphum pasaniae (Okajima, 1908) (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Greenideinae)

Abstract

In this study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial genome of Eutrichosiphum pasaniae through Illumina platform. The circular mitogenome is 16,500 bp in length and composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), a large control region and a special repeat region. The nucleotide composition of whole mitogenome is strongly AT-biased (85.5%). All PCGs start with ATN and end with TAA except for cox1 which terminates with an incomplete stop codon T. All tRNAs have a typical clover-leaf secondary structure except for trnS (AGN). The lengths of rrnL, rrnS and control region are 1276, 774 and 996 bp, respectively. The repeat region with a length of 909 bp is located between trnE and trnF and consists of 4.1 repeat units. The phylogenetic tree supports the sister relationship of Eutrichosiphum pasaniae and Greenidea psidii.
