Abstract:
The mitochondrial genome of Brevicoryne brassicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) was determined by Illumina paired-end sequencing. The genome size is 15,927 bp with 45.19% A, 39.03% T, 9.92% C and 5.86% G. It is encoded with 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs and two ribosome RNAs. The phylogenetic tree showed that B. brassicae clustered within clade of Aphididae, had a closer relationship with genus Diuraphis than the rest genera. This study provides important information for future study on the evolution, genetic and molecular biology of Brevicoryne.
