Mitochondrial DNA B Resour. 2021 Feb 13;6(2):596-597. doi: 10.1080/23802359.2021.1875923.

Abstract

In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Arhopalus unicolor was first sequenced. The length of the complete mitochondria genome of A. unicolor was 15,760 bp with 19.0% GC content, including 40.5% A, 10.8% C, 8.2% G and 40.5% T. There were 13 protein-coding genes (CDS), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and an AT-rich region. Phylogenetic analysis showed that A. unicolor was closely related to Spondylis buprestoides. This study provides useful genetic information for subsequent prevention of A. unicolor.

Keywords: Arhopalus unicolor; Complete mitochondrial genome; phylogenetic analysis.
