Structural Characteristics and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Mitochondrial Genomes of Four Krisna Species (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Iassinae).

ABSTRACT: Krisna species are insects that have piercing-sucking mouthparts and belong to the Krisnini tribe in the Iassinae subfamily of leafhoppers in the Cicadellidae family. In this study, we sequenced and compared the mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of four Krisna species. The results showed that all four mitogenomes were composed of cyclic double-stranded molecules and contained 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) and 22 and 2 genes coding for tRNAs and rRNAs, respectively. Those mitogenomes exhibited similar base composition, gene size, and codon usage patterns for the protein-coding genes. The analysis of the nonsynonymous substitution rate (Ka)/synonymous substitution rate (Ks) showed that evolution occurred the fastest in ND4 and the slowest in COI. 13 PCGs that u
