The complete mitochondrial genome of Tropidothorax sinensis (Reuter, 1888) (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Tropidothorax sinensis (Reuter, 1888) was determined in the present study by using high-throughput sequencing. This mitogenome is 15,422 bp in size and comprises 37 typical coding genes and a control region. All protein-coding genes are initiated with ATN, except for COX1 and ND4L use TTG as the start codon, and terminate with TAA or TAG with the exception of COX2 , COX3 and ND1 which use a single T residue as the stop codon. Twenty-one of the 22 transfer RNA genes have the typical clover-leaf structure except for tRNA Ser(AGN) . The monophyly of the family Lygaeidae and the sister relationship between T. sinensis and T. cruciger is supported by maximum likelihood analysis based on the protein-coding and ribosomal RNA gene sequences.

First complete mitochondrial genome from the genus Coptodryas (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) and its phylogenetic implications

“…As in most other insect mitogenomes (Huang et al. 2021 ), the large and small rRNAs in C. elegans were located between tRNA Leu(CUN) and tRNAVal and between tRNA Val and the control region, respectively. The length of lrRNA and srRNA was determined to be 1301 bp and 783 bp, respectively.…”

Mitogenomics of Chinch Bugs from China and Implications for Its Coevolutionary Relationship with Grasses

“…Insect mitogenomes have conserved genetic composition and arrangement similar to that of Drosophila yakuba (Diptera: Drosophilidae) [ 7 , 8 ]. The information of the mitochondrial gene structure has been considered as the key signal of evolutionary biology [ 2 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”
