The complete mitochondrial genome of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda Smith, 1797 (Lepidoptera; Noctuidae), firstly collected in Korea

Abstract

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda , is a serious pest in large numbers on more than 350 plant species in the world. We have determined a 15,388 bp mitogenome of S. frugiperda which includes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNAs. The base composition was AT-biased (81.3%). Phylogenetic trees present that Korean S. frugiperda placed in basal position of S. frugiperda clade. S. frugiperda mitochondrial genome can be used for understanding recent active migration of S. frugiperda .

The complete mitochondrial genome of Aphis gossypii Glover, 1877 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) isolated from Plantago asiatica in Korea

“…Sixty-six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 176 insertions and deletions (INDELs) and 11 SNPs and 173 INDELs are identified against those of Chinese and Korean A. gossypii, respectively. These numbers of sequence variations are similar to those of Nilaparvata lugens (Choi et al 2019;Choi et al 2020), Laodelphax striatellus , and Spodoptera frugiperda (Seo, Lee, et al 2019). It is smaller than that of Chilo suppresallis .…”

The second complete mitochondrial genome of Alphitobius diaperinus Panzer, 1797 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae): investigation of intraspecific variations on mitochondrial genome

“…One SNP is non-synonymous SNP changing 142 nd amino acid of NAD4 from methionine to valine. Number of intraspecific variations identified in this study is similar to that of Laodelphax striatellus between D5 and D7 isolates ) but much less than those of Hipparchia autonoe (Lee et al 2020), Aphis gossypii (Park, Xi, Kim, et al 2019) (Bae et al accepted), Laodelphax striatellus , Nilaparvata lugens (Choi et al 2019;Choi et al 2020), Spodoptera frugiperda (Seo, Lee, et al 2019), and Chilo suppresallis (Park, Xi, Kwon, et al 2019).…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Rhopalosiphum nymphaeae (Linnaeus, 1761) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

“…Because of INDELs on genic region, this sequence should be corrected in near future. Number of SNPs and INDELs is smaller than those of Chilo suppressalis and Spodoptera frugiperda (Seo, Lee, et al 2019) and larger than those of Nilaparvata lugens (Choi et al 2019;Kwon, Min, et al 2019), Laodelphax striatellus , Aphis gossypii , Stegobium paniceum (Park et al, under review), and Hipparchia autonoe (Lee et al, in preparation).…”
