The complete mitochondrial genome of Bradysia impatiens (Diptera: Sciaridae)

Abstract

Bradysia impatiens (Johannsen, 1912) is an important pest of various mushrooms and plant seedlings, while it also damages plants as vectors transmitting pathogens. The complete B. impatiens mitogenome is 16,479 bp in length, with an A + T content of 80.6%. The mitogenome had three overlapped regions; the longest overlap is 7 bp. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that B. impatiens is closely related to Bradysia amoena. The study provided a basis for future studies of species divergence in Bradysia.
