Abstract

Abstract: The complete mitogenome of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB, Agrilus planipennis ) was obtained by gleaning mitochondrial sequences from whole-genome Illumina sequencing data. The circular genome has 15, 942 base pairs and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and an A–T-rich region. All PCGs begin with ATN codons. The nucleotide composition is highly asymmetric (31.65% A, 40.25% T, 17.39% G, 10.71% C), with an overall A–T content of 71.9%. Phylogenetic analysis based on insect mitogenomes indicated that EAB is closely related to other Buprestoidea species, clustering most closely with Chrysochroa fulgidissima .
