This study provides a chloroplast genome of Poapoophagorum. The complete cp genome was135,664 bp in length with typical quadripartite structure, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IR) of 21,552 bp each, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 79,790 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,770 bp. The overall G + C content of the cp genome was 38.30%, which encompassed 119 genes including 79 protein-coding genes,8 rRNA genes, and 32 tRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. poophagorum was closely related to Festuca arundinacea cultivar KY-31in Gramineae. This study would contribute to enrich the Poa L. cp genome resource and promote biological research.In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of Thuja koraiensis was sequenced and analyzed. The complete chloroplast genome of T. koraiensis was 130,027 bp in length, encoding a total of 116 genes, including 80 protein-coding genes, 32 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs, with a CG content of 34.24%. The phylogenetic analysis of T. koraiensis was carried out to determine the position of Thujoideae in the phylogenetic evolution.In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Pangasius sanitwongsei was firstly reported and analyzed. It had a double-stand DNA molecule with 16536 bp in length, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and one control region. The structural organization and gene order was similar to other bony fishes. The complete mitochondrial genome of P. sanitwongsei provided in this work would be helpful for further research on phylogenetics and conservation genetics of the Siluriformes and other orders.In the past two decades, identification of species from noninvasive sampling has turned out to be an important tool for wildlife conservation. In this study a total 93 specimens representing 22 species of ungulates were analyzed from partial sequences of mtDNA COI and Cytb genes. All the species showed unique clades, and sequences divergence within species was between 0.01-3.9% in COI and 0.01-13.7 in Cytb, whereas divergence between species ranged from 2.2 to 29.5% in COI and 2.3 to 28.8% in Cytb. Highest intraspecific divergence was observed within the Ovis aries in COI and Porcula salvania in Cytb. Bayesian (BA) phylogeny analysis of both genes combined distinguishes all the studied species as monophyletic criteria. The Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) exhibited closer relation to horse (Equus caballus). No barcode gap was observed between species in COI. This study demonstrates that even short fragments of COI and Cytb generated from fecal pellets can efficiently identify the Indian ungulates, thus demonstrating its high potential for use in wildlife conservation activities.In this study, the complete mitogenome sequence of Ostrinia furnacalis was described. The assembled mitogenome is 15,241 bp in length with an extreme bias of high AT content (80.9%) (GenBank accession no. MN747041). The mitochondrial genome contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA) genes, and a control region (D-loop region). The mitochondrial gene order was identical to that observed in most lepidopteran genomes, nine PCGs were located on the H-strand, others were located on the L-strand. 12 PCGs were initiated by typical ATN codons, except for COI with CGA instead. 21 tRNAs had the typical cloverleaf structure, while the DHU arm of the trnS1 gene did not form a stable stem-loop structure. The ‘ATAGT(A)’-like motif and a 19 bp poly-T stretch at the down-stream of the rrnS gene were observed in the A + T-rich region. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the relationship of O. furnacalis is very close to the three species in the subfamily Pyraustinae O. nubilalis, O. penitalis and Loxostege sticticalis, and all the subfamilies of Spilomelinae, Pyraustinae, Crambinae and Nymphulinae within Crambidae formed monophyletic groups with the highest bootstrap value support.Hovenia acerba is a widely distributed species with economic, ornamental, and medicinal value in China. In this study, we assembled and characterized the complete chloroplast genome of H. acerba for the first time. click here The circular genome has a quadripartite structure with 161,651 bp in length and contains a pair of 26,619 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions, separated by the large single-copy (LSC, 89,443 bp) region and small single-copy (SSC, 18,970 bp) region. The plastid genome harbours 104 unique genes, including 72 protein-coding genes, 28 tRNAs, and four rRNAs. The overall GC content of the whole genome was 36.7%. Further, the phylogenetic analysis showed that H. acerba clustered together with Ziziphus genus. The complete chloroplast genome of H. acerba will provide important information for phylogenetic and evolutionary studies in Rhamnaceae, as well as the other closely related family.Prunus davidiana (Rosaceae) is of great importance horticulturally as the rootstock of some fruit trees. Here, the complete chloroplast genome of P. davidiana was assembled based on the Illumina reads. The complete cp genome of P. davidiana was 157,660 bp in length and contained a pair of inverted repeat (IR, 26,387 bp) regions, which were separated by the small single-copy (SSC, 19,122 bp) and the large single-copy (LSC, 85,764 bp) regions. It encoded 135 genes. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that P. davidiana is sister to other peaches. This result will be useful for future studies of the lineage.We sequenced, assembled, and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome of the seed beetle Caryopemon giganteus, which represents the first report in the tribe Caryopemini from the subfamily Bruchinae of Chrysomelidae. The circular mitochondrial genome of the species contains 15,727 bases, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and a non-coding region. The GC content of the genome is 25.3%, which is higher than any other reported mitochondrial genomes within Bruchinae. The 16S ribosomal RNA gene and the 12S ribosomal RNA gene are 1284 and 835 bp in length, respectively. 12 PCGs started with the typical ATN codon, except for ND1 initiated with TTG. Five PCGs have the typical stop codon of TAA or TGA, while the remainder PCGs are terminated with incomplete stop codons (TA or T). The phylogenetic analysis based on a combination of 13 genes of the mitochondrial genomes of six species of Bruchinae and 23 species from other 10 subfamilies of Chrysomelidae recovered a generally well resolved and strongly supported tree topology, which shows that C.
