Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the pest aphid Greenidea ficicola was determined. The mitogenome was 17,361 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, 1 long control region located between srRNA and tRNA^Ile , and a repeat region located between tRNA^Glu and tRNA^Phe . Thirteen protein-coding genes have typical ATN start codon and TAA termination codon. All tRNAs were predicted to contain typical clover-leaf secondary structures except tRNA^Ser(gct). The length of lrRNA and srRNA are 1270 bp and 773 bp, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis shows that Greenideinae speices form a highly supported clade.

Keywords: Mitogenome; control region; phylogeny; repeat region.
