The complete mitochondrial genome ofMacrosteles quadrilineatus(Hemiptera: Cicadellidae)

Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Aster leafhopper Macrosteles quadrilineatus was sequenced using an Illumina-based next-generation sequencing approach. The genome is 16,626 bp in length with 78.0% AT content. It encodes 37 typical mitochondrial genes including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 1 A + T-rich region. Two tandem repeats were identified within the A + T-rich region. One tRNA gene rearrangement ( trnW - trnC - trnY→trnC - trnW - trnY ) was found between nd2 and cox1 .

The Phylogenetic Implications of the Mitochondrial Genomes of Macropsis notata and Oncopsis nigrofasciata

“…The nucleotide compositions of the complete mitogenomes of M. notata and O. nigrofasciata were as follows ( Table 1): (A) 44.3 and 44.4%; (T) 32.5 and 34.5%; (C) 13.2 and 11.4%; (G) 10 and 9.7%, respectively. The mitogenomes of both these species of Macropsinae exhibited a heavy AT nucleotide bias (76.8 and 79.0%), in accordance with the other leafhoppers mitogenomes (Du et al, 2017a,b;Mao et al, 2017;Choudhary et al, 2018;Dai et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2018). In addition, the GC content, AT skew, and GC skew were also calculated for the mitogenomes of M. notata and O. nigrofasciata, which showed a positive AT Skew (0.15 and 0.12) and negative GC Skew (-0.14 and -0.08).…”

Characterization of Two Complete Mitochondrial Genomes of Ledrinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and Phylogenetic Analysis

“…The AT content of tRNA genes is slightly higher than that of the PCGs, ranging from 77.3% to 77.7% ( Table 3 and Table 4 ). Both positions of 22 tRNA genes were identified in the same relative genomic positions as in D. yakuba [ 64 ] and previously sequenced Cicadellidae ( Table 1 ), with the exception of three species of Deltocephalinae and one species of Iassinae, which have tRNA rearrangements [ 18 , 19 , 26 , 53 ]. The sizes of these 22 tRNAs ranged from 58 bp ( trnS1 ) to 72 bp ( trnL2 ) in P. chlorophana and from 59 bp ( trnE ) to 71 bp ( trnK ) in T. sagittata ( Table 2 ).…”

The complete mitochondrial genome of Empoascanara sipra (Hemiptera:Cicadellidae:Typhlocybinae) with phylogenetic consideration

“…The circular mitogenome contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rrnL and rrnS), and one AT-rich region. The gene order and orientation of E. sipra were identical with other Hemiptera species (Mao et al 2017). The base composition values for E. sipra mitogenome were 42.6, 13.4, 10.0, and 33.9% for A, C, G, and T, respectively, with an overall A þ T content of 76.5%.…”
