The complete mitochondrial genome of Nilaparvata lugens (Stål, 1854) captured in Guangxi province, China (Hemiptera: Delphacidae): identification of the origin of N. lugens migrated to Korea

Abstract: Nilaparvata lugens, called as brown planthoppers (BPH), is one of important pests on rice. To identify the origin of Korean N. lugens, we completed mitochondrial genome of N. lugens captured in Guangdong province in China. The circular mitogenome of N. lugens is 17,606 bp including 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a single large non-coding region of 2424 bp. The base composition was AT-biased (89.5%). 90 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 10 insertions and deletions are identified by comparing with Korean N. lugens. Phylogenetic trees present that Guangdong BPH may not be an origin of Korean BPH based on distance of two mitochondrial genomes.
