Agrimonia pilosa var. nepalensis (D. Don) Nakai is an herbaceous species of Rosaceae distributed in China. It has ornamental and ecological values. Lack of genetic background seriously hinders its further research and utilization. To provide genetic information for further study of it, complete chloroplast (cp) genome was characterized in this study. The genome is a circular molecule of 155,147 bp in length with overall GC content of 36.9%, which contains 85 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. It contains a typical tetrad structure, including a large single copy, a small single copy, and two inverted repeat regions. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. pilosa var. nepalensis and A. pilosa are closely related. Result of this study could provide genetic information for further research of A. pilosa var. nepalensis.Prunus discadenia is a Cerasus species with great ornamental value and endemic to China. Here, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of P. discadenia was assembled based on the Illumina reads. The cp genome is 157,915 bp in length, which contains two inverted repeat regions (26,415 bp) separated by the small single copy (19,119 bp) and the large single copy (85,966 bp) regions. The plastome contains 131 genes, and the overall GC content is 36.7%. Complete chloroplast genome of P. discadenia is of great significance to rebuilt the phylogeny of Cerasus.We report the first mitochondrial genome sequences for the three band pennant fish, Heniochus chrysostomus. The whole mitogenome of H. chrysostomus was circular in shape and 16,650 bp in length. The mitogenome consists of 13 typical vertebrate protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), and 2 putative non-coding regions. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that H. click here chrysostomus was closely related to Heniochus diphreutes. This study will provide useful genetic information for future phylogenetic and taxonomic classification of Chaetodontidae.Cornus elliptica is a species of the Cornus, an evergreen tree endemic to China. Here, we report a complete chloroplast genome sequence of C. elliptica. The chloroplast genome was found to be 157,400bp in length, and G-C contents were 38.1%. The sequence contained 115 unique genes, including 31 tRNA, 4 rRNA, and 80 protein-coding genes. Phylogenetic framework of Cornus is consistent with previous studies.Macaranga tanarius (L.) Muell. Arg. is a tree species within Euphorbiaceae, which can be used for building timber and its extract can be used to treat diabetes. In this report, we describe the complete plastome sequence of Macaranga tanarius. The complete plastome of Macaranga tanarius (L.) Muell. Arg. is of 165,362 bp in length, and it is with typical plastome structure and gene content of angiosperm plastome, including two reverse repeat regions (IRs) of 27,503 bp, large single copy region (LSC) of 91,443 bp, and small single copy (SSC) region of 18,913 bp. The plastome contains 131 genes, including 85 protein coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes (i.e., 5S rRNA, 4.5S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and 23S rRNA). The total G/C content of Macaranga tanarius (L.) Muell. Arg.plastome is 35.6%. The complete plastome sequence is conducive to the development and utilization of Euphorbiaceae resources and the phylogenetic study.In this study, the complete chloroplast genome of O. sativa Temperate Japonica YunJing-24 was assembled using Illumina sequencing data. The complete chloroplast (cp) genome is 134,556 bp in length, including a pair of invert repeats (IRA and IRB) regions of 20,797 bp, large single-copy (LSC) region of 80,615 bp, and small single-copy (SSC) region of 12,347 bp. A total of 129 genes were predicted in the genome, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the phylogenetic relationship between O. sativa Temperate Japonica and other representative species.The complete mitochondrial genome of Yuukianura szeptyckii Deharveng & Weiner 1984 was sequenced, assembled, and annotated. The mitochondrial genome of Y. szeptyckii has a length of 15,771 bp and contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer (tRNA) genes, and 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Y. szeptyckii was closely clustered with the following species of Neanuridae Bilobella aurantiaca and Friesea grisea.The complete mitochondrial genome of Aphis gossypii Glover cucumber biotype was sequenced using traditional PCR amplification coupled with Sanger sequencing. The genome is 15,870 bp long, with 83.7% AT content (MW048625). The genome encodes 37 typical mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, a repeat region of 784 bp, and a control region of 627 bp. The base composition of the genome is A (45.4%), T (38.3%), C (10.5%), and G (5.8%). An analysis of two biotypes A. gossypii mitogenomes identified 77 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 1 insertion and deletion.Sarotherodon galilaeus (Linnaeus, 1758), a cichlid species that is naturally distributed in African and Eurasian waters, was introduced in many Asian countries for aquaculture. To date, rare genetic studies focused on this species have hindered our understanding of this species. Here, we reported the complete mitochondrial genome of S. galilaeus that was sequenced using next-generation sequencing technology. The resulting mitogenome of S. galilaeus was 16,630 in length and comprised 13 protein-coding genes (PCG), 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and one control region (D-loop). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that Oreochromini species contained two lineages (I and II) and S. galilaeus clustered with Oreochromis aureus rather than other Sarotherodon species.The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Trachemys scripta elegans in Korea was sequenced and characterized. The mt genome is constituted of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes and 2 ribosomal RNA genes) and a noncoding control region. Phylogenetic analysis based on the complete mt genome showed that T. s. elegans Korea has closer relationship with T. scripta Canada than T. s. elegans China. This is the first complete mt genome from T. s. elegans in Korea, which provides information for biogeographical studies and management plan for invasive species.
