Abstract
AbstractIn this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the invasive insect speciesMelanoplus differentialiscaptured in Korea. The complete mitochondrial genome ofM. differentialisis 15,625 bp long and comprises 13 protein‐coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNAs, with a GC ratio of 25.2%. In total, 353 SNPs and 11 INDEL regions (total length 67 bp) were found against the previously sequencedM. differentialismitochondrial genome recorded as public genome data. The number of interspecific variations was greater than the number of intraspecific variations in this insect. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the mitochondrial genome clustered theMelanoplusclade with two previously reportedMelanoplussequences. However, the sequences were not divided at the species‐level clade possibly as a consequence of misidentification caused by an error in the public database. Our results extend the molecular database status ofMelanoplusby providing a novel complete mitochondrial genome sequence forM. differentialisthat could serve as reference for further molecular studies.
