Abstract:
The complete mitochondrial genome of Aphis gossypii Glover cucumber biotype was sequenced using traditional PCR amplification coupled with Sanger sequencing. The genome is 15,870 bp long, with 83.7% AT content (MW048625). The genome encodes 37 typical mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, a repeat region of 784 bp, and a control region of 627 bp. The base composition of the genome is A (45.4%), T (38.3%), C (10.5%), and G (5.8%). An analysis of two biotypes A. gossypii mitogenomes identified 77 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 1 insertion and deletion.
