The complete mitochondrial genome of Nilaparvata lugens (stål, 1854) captured in Korea (Hemiptera: Delphacidae)

Abstract

Nilaparvata lugens is one of important pests of rice causing severe damagein early September in Korea after migrating from China. We completed mitogenome of N. lugens captured in Korea. The circular mitogenome of N. lugens is 17,610 bp including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and a 2424-bp--non-coding region. The base composition was AT-biased (89.5%). 112 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 59 insertions and deletions are identified by comparing with Chinese N. lugens. Phylogenetic trees presented an incongruence of topology in N. lugens clade, suggesting a need for further analyses to classify biotypes based on complete mitochondrial genomes.
