Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Cicadella viridis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae)

Abstract

From this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Cicadella viridis was sequenced. Based on annotation, the mitogenome is circular, with 15,891 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and one AT-rich region. There is 10,899 bp for the total length of 13 PCGs, which is encoding 3622 amino acids. All protein-coding genes used ATN as initiation codon. All protein coding genes used TAN as stop codon, except COII and COIII using incomplete T as stop codon. The length of LSU and SSU of rRNA gene are 1206 bp and 736 bp, respectively. Taxonomy of Cicadellidae was revised with phylogenetic analyses among mitogenome sequences from 20 closely related species.
