The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of Aoria bowringii (Baly, 1860)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of Aoria bowringii. The circular mitogenome is 17,054 bp in length and exhibits a strong A + T bias, with nucleotide composition A 47.71%, T 30.63%, C 16.00%, and G 5.67%. It contains the typical set of 37 metazoan mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes, as well as a putative control region. A maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis based on 13 PCGs places A. bowringii as a highly supported sister species to its congener Aoria nigripes. This mitogenome provides a valuable molecular resource for future phylogenetic and population genetic studies of this insect pest.
