ABSTRACT
We have determined the mitochondrial genome of Paracolopha morrisoni (Baker, 1919), a gall-forming
aphid collected from Korea. The circular mitogenome of Paracolopha morrisoni is 16,330 bp long includ-
ing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and a single large non-coding
region of 932bp. The base composition was AT-biased (84.9%). Gene order of P. morrisoni is identical
to all other aphid mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic trees show that P. morrisoni is sister to
Eriosoma lanigerum both belonging to tribe. The mitochondrial genome of P. morrisoni will be useful in
understanding the genetic backgrounds of the species.

Paracolopha morrisoni is an aphid widely occurring in eastern
Asian countries (China, Japan, and Korea), Unites States
(Maryland, and South Carolina), and Europe (Belgium. Britain,
Italy, and The Netherlands; Si 1985;Malumphy2012). In Asia, P.
morrisoni are known to be heteroecious, altering their hosts
from a primary host Zelkova serrata to the secondary host,
bamboo (Sasa spp.; Si 1985). Outside of Asia on the other
hand, they are only found on roots of bamboo species, both
introduced (Phyllostachys and Pleioblastus spp., native to China)
and native species (Arundinaria gigantea,nativetotheUS).
Since P. morrisoni, in America and Europe, are mostly found in
cultivated bamboos and do not alternate hosts, it has been
believed these aphids originated in east Asia but were intro-
duced overseas hitchhiking international trades of host plants.
This is not completely confirmed, however, since the North
American populations show novel characteristics such as alates
occurringinspring(Si1985). To understand genetic back-
ground of this species, we determined the complete mitochon-
drial genome of P. morrisoni collected from South Korea.
Total DNA of P. morrisoni was extracted from wingless
females collected on Zelkova serrata from Haymang-gun,
Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea in 2019 (355402000 N, 1267608400 E;
the specimen is stored in Gyeongsang National University,
Korea accession number: Coll#JE147) using DNeasy Brood &
Tissue Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany). Raw sequences obtained
from Illumina HiSeqX at Macrogen Inc., Korea, were filtered by
Trimmomatic 0.33 (Bolger et al. 2014)andde novo assembled
and confirmed by Velvet 1.2.10 (Zerbino and Birney 2008),
SOAPGapCloser 1.12 (Zhao et al. 2011), BWA 0.7.17 (Li et al.
2009), and SAMtools 1.9 (Li 2013). Geneious R11 11.1.5
(Biomatters Ltd., Auckland, New Zealand) was used for annota-
tion based on that of Eriosoma lanigerum (NC_033352). ARWEN
(Laslett and Canb€
ack 2008) was used to annotate tRNAs.
Paracolopha morrisoni mitochondrial genome length
(Genbank accession is MN167467) is 16,330 bp and GC ratio
is 15.1%, showing AT-biased. It contains 13 protein-coding
genes, 2 rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs. The tRNAs size ranges from 53
to 73 bp, similar to other aphids (52–90 bp). Gene order of
P. morrisoni is identical to that of all other aphid mitoge-
nomes which are apparently the ancestral gene order of all
insects (Wang et al. 2013).
All available complete mitochondrial genomes of 34
aphids including P. morrisoni and Bembisia tabaci
(NC_006279) as an outgroup were aligned by MAFFT 7.388
(Katoh and Standley 2013). Bootstrapped maximum-likelihood
(bootstrap repeat is 1000) and neighbor-joining (bootstrap
repeat is 10,000) trees were constructed using MEGA X
(Kumar et al. 2018). Phylogenetic trees show that all valid
aphid tribes are monophyletic with P. morrisoni in Erisomatini
(Figure 1). However, our tree topologies also presented
Erisomatini grouped with Greenideidae resulting in paraphy-
letic manner of subfamily Eristomatinae, which is not the first
time to be reported (Nov
akov
a et al. 2013). Our mitochon-
drial genome will be a key resource in understanding the
genetic backgrounds and phylogenetic position of
P. morrisoni.
