The first complete mitochondrial genome of marigold pest thrips, Neohydatothrips samayunkur (Sericothripinae) and comparative analysis.

ABSTRACT: Complete mitogenomes from the order Thysanoptera are limited to representatives of the subfamily Thripinae. Therefore, in the present study, we sequenced the mitochondrial genome of Neohydatothrips samayunkur (15,295 bp), a member of subfamily Sericothripinae. The genome possesses the canonical 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), and two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs) as well as two putative control regions (CRs). The majority strand was 77.42% A + T content, and 22.58% G + C with weakly positive AT skew (0.04) and negative GC skew (-0.03). The majority of PCGs start with ATN codons as observed in other insect mitochondrial genomes. The GCG codon (Alanine) was not used in N. samayunkur. Most tRNAs have the typical cloverleaf secondary structure, however the DHU stem
