Abstract

The complete mitochondrial genome of Ostrinia kasmirica (Moore, 1888) was sequenced in this study. The circular mitogenome is 15,214 bp in length, containing 37 typical encoded genes and a non-coding control region. The gene organization and nucleotide composition are similar to those of most other sequenced Ostrinia species. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) initiate with ATN and terminate with TAN, except cox1 starts with CGA and cox1, cox2, nad5 terminate with an incomplete codon T. The control region of 308 bp contains three conserved features including the motif 'TTAGA' preceded a poly-T stretch, a microsatellite-like (TA)_n element, and a poly-A stretch upstream of trnM. Phylogenetic analysis based on mitogenome sequences revealed that the O. kasmirica (the second species group) was more closely related to the third species group of the genus and the first species group was not at the basal position of this genus as that Mutuura and Munroe indicated.
