Abstract:
Plagiodera versicolora (Laicharting) is a leaf-eating pest widely distributed in the world. In this study, the first complete mitochondrial genome of P. Versicolora (Laicharting) was assembled and analyzed. The complete mitochondrial genome of P. Versicolora (Laicharting) is 16,857 bp with 22.39% GC containing, 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA), 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA), as well as an AT-rich region. Phylogenomic analysis indicated that P. Versicolora (Laicharting) is sister to Chrysomela populiThis study provides useful information for the identification of this species and the study of genetic evolution with other species of Chrysomelidae.
