Mitochondrial Genome Resource of the Cottony Ash Psyllid, a Host of a Newly Identified ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ Bacterium
Cottony ash psyllid (CAP, Psyllopsis discrepans) is an important, invasive insect pest of ash trees in North America, where it has established populations and is the host of a newly identified strain of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’. However, not much is known about the diversity of its int...

| description | Cottony ash psyllid (CAP, Psyllopsis discrepans) is an important, invasive insect pest of ash trees in North America, where it has established populations and is the host of a newly identified strain of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’. However, not much is known about the diversity of its introduced population. In this study, a CAP mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) sequence was obtained from a collection in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The CAP mitogenome is a circular DNA of 18,824 bp, encoding 13 protein-coding genes, 21 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes. BLAST search using the CAP mitogenome as a query against the GenBank sequence database showed the mitogenome of Euphyllura phillyreae (15,202 bp) was the most similar (query coverage = 77%; percentage identity = 78.90%). The CAP mitogenome is significantly different from other known psyllid mitogenomes with the presence of a 4,357-bp control region. The mitogenome sequence will further the genomic understanding of CAP.
