The complete mitochondrial genome of the Annamanum lunulatum is 15,610 bp in length, which contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and the A + T-rich region. The arrangement of genes is identical to all know longhorn beetles mitochondrial genomes. The overall AT content of the mitochondrial genome is 75.3%, whereas the AT content of A + T-rich region is 84.3%. In ML and BI phylogenetic analyses, A. lunulatum is a sister clade to Blepephaeus succinctor, and the monophyly of Lamiinae is supported.The 25,137-bp mitogenome of the green alga Pedinomonas minor (Pedinomonadales, Pedinophyceae), which belongs to a basal class of the core Chlorophyta, is unusual in displaying a reduced gene content as well as other derived traits. Here, we present the mitogenome of Marsupiomonas sp. NIES 1824 (Marsupiomonadales, Pedinophyceae). Despite its smaller size, this 24,252-bp genome encodes twice as many genes (39) as its P. minor homolog. Besides gradual gene erosion, our comparative analyses revealed that major changes in GC content and codon usage led to the gain of distinct, noncanonical genetic codes during evolution of the mitogenome in the Pedinophyceae.In the present study, the complete mitogenome sequence of a Acanthorhodeus chankaensis Dybowsky from Cao'e River was sequenced and identified. The assembled mitogenome of A. chankaensis is 16,676 bp in length, it contains 22 transfer-RNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal-RNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions. It shows conserved gene arrangement with other Cyprinidae fishes. The overall nucleotide composition of A. chankaensis mitogenome sequence is A 28.96%, G 17.11%, T 27.46%, and C 26.47%. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the complete mitogenome could contribute to the phylogenetic analyses and population genetics study of A. chankaensis and Acanthorhodeus fish.Cornus bretschneideri L.Henry (Cornaceae), a shrub or small tree, is a potential horticultural plant or a soil-fixing plant. In this study, the complete sequence and characterization of the chloroplast genome of C. KWA 0711 bretschneideri was studied. The size of the chloroplast genome is 158,270 bp in length, including a large single copy region (LSC) of 87,466 bp, a small single copy region (SSC) of 18,730 bp, and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions with 26,037 bp. The GC content of the chloroplast genome was 37.86%. Moreover, a total of 132 functional genes were annotated, including 87 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree suggested that C. bretschneideri was closely related to C. sanguinea and C. macrophylla.Sarcocheilichthys sinensis (Bleeker), is a small-sized benthopelagic fish with ornamental value. In the present study, the complete mitochondrial genome of S. sinensis was sequenced and determined. The complete mitogenome of S. sinensis was 16,683 bp in length, consisting of 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 2 non-coding regions. The overall base composition of the S. sinensis mitogenome is 30.50% A, 26.28% T, 26.60% C, and 16.61% G, exhibiting obvious AT bias (56.79%). The phylogenetic analysis showed that S. sinensis clustered in genus Sarcocheilichthys. Present study provides useful data to population genetics and conservation biology of Sarcocheilichthys fishes.The mitogenome of Parnassius mercurius Grum-Grshimailo is determined to be 15,372 bp in length, including 37 typical insect mitochondrial genes and an AT-rich region. All PCGs start with ATN, except for COI with CGA; 12 of 13 PCGs harbour the common stop codon TAA or TAG, whereas COII end with a single T. The lrRNA and srRNA genes are 1344 bp and 775 bp in length, respectively. The AT-rich region contains several features characteristic of the lepidopterans. Phylogenetic analysis shows that P. mercurius is the closest relative of P. epaphus and P. nomion lineage, rather than the P. jacquemontii.Maytenus guangxiensis (Celastraceae) is a rare and critically endangered species endemic to China. Here, we first report and characterize its complete chloroplast genome sequence based on Illumina paired-end sequencing data. The complete plastid genome was 157,102 bp, which contained inverted repeats (IR) of 26,476 bp separated by a large single-copy (LSC) and a small single copy (SSC) of 85,559 bp and 18,591 bp, respectively. The cpDNA contains 130 genes, comprising 85 protein-coding genes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the plastome is 37.3%. The phylogenetic analysis of 19 selected chloroplast genomes demonstrated that M. guangxiensis was close to the species Catha edulis.The first complete chloroplast genome (cpDNA) sequence of Altingia excelsa was determined from Illumina HiSeq pair-end sequencing data in this study. The cpDNA is 160,861 bp in length, contains a large single copy region (LSC) of 89,126 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 19,011 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (IR) regions of 26,362 bp each. The genome contains 127 genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenomic analysis showed that A. excelsa and Liquidambar formosana clustered in a clade in Saxifragales order.This study provides a chloroplast genome of Poa pratensis L. cv. Qinghai. The complete genome is 135,606 bp in length with a G + C content of 38.28%, which contains 32 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that P. pratensis L. cv. Qinghai is closely related to Festuca arundinacea cultivar KY-31. These results contribute to explore the genetic evidence for adaptation to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of Hynobius unisacculus was sequenced and characterized. The circular mt genome constituted of 37 genes (13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and 2 ribosomal RNAs) and a non-coding region (NCR). Phylogenetic analysis based on the full mt genome sequences confirmed that H. unisacculus was closely related to Hynobius leechii rather than other Hynobius species. This is the first completed mt genome from H. unisacculus, which provides data for further study of phylogeny in Hynobiidaes.
