title: The complete mitochondrial genome of Sitobion avenae (Hemiptera: Aphididae).
abstract: In this paper, we sequenced the complete mitogenome of the English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae. The mitogenome was mainly consisted of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 large noncoding regions. The 15,180-bp mitogenome with a high A + T content (84.22%) was arranged in the same gene order as that of the ancestral insect. The repeat region between trnE and trnF included 1.29 copies of a 202 bp repeat unit. Characterization of the S. avenae mitogenome revealed architecture of one of important worldwide agricultural pests, thus advancing our understanding of insect mitogenomic diversities and further utilization in phylogenetic analysis.
