Complete mitochondrial genome of Neotoxoptera formosana (Takahashi, 1921) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), with the phylogenetic analysis

Abstract

In this study, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Neotoxoptera formosana (Takahashi) (Hemiptera: Aphididae). The complete mitogenome of N. formosana is 15,642 bp in length, and includes 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosome RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and one control region. The overall base composition was as follows: 45.2% of A, 5.8% of G, 10.5% of C, and 38.4% of T, with a total of A + T content of 83.6%. The phylogenetic tree showed that N. formosana and Myzus persicae were clustered into one branch. This result will enrich the mitogenome of family Aphididae.
