The mitochondrial genomes of two walnut pests, Gastrolina depressa depressa and G. depressa thoracica (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), and phylogenetic analyses.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of two walnut leaf insect pests, Gastrolina depressa depressa and G. depressa thoracica, were sequenced by Sanger sequencing technology. The mitogenome of G. depressa thoracica was complete at 16,109 bp in length, while the mitogenome of G. depressa depressa (14,277 bp) was partial. The genomic analyses indicated that both mitogenomes have the typical gene content and arrangement. The formerly identified elements, 'TAGTA' between trnSer(UCN) and nad2, and 'ATGATAA' between atp8 and atp6, were more conserved than that between nad4L and nad4, which was 'ATGTTAA' in Coleoptera excluding Polyphaga.
