The complete mitochondrial genome of a whitefly (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) infesting Glycine max

The complete mitochondrial genome was determined for a whitefly (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) infesting soybean Glycine max (hereafter whitefly_Glycine max_China) (GenBank accession number: MK645228). The mitochondrial genome has a total length of 15,074 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs, and two ribosomal RNAs. The overall base composition is 29.7% A, 42.4% T, 15.9% G, and 12.0% C, with an A + T bias of 72.1%. All PCGs start with ATN codon, and all PCGs end with TAA codon except COX1, COX2, and NAD5. The resultant maximum-likelihood and Bayesian inference trees based on 13 PCGs support a close relationship of this whitefly with Tetraleurodes acaciae. Gene arrangement of the 13 PCGs between the whitefly_Glycine max_China and T. acaciae is identical and the COX1 sequences of the two species share a similarity of 78.95%.
