Cephalotaxus lanceolata K. M. Feng ex C. Y. Cheng W. C. Cheng and L. K. Fu (Taxaceae) is a threatened plant species and a typical plant species with extremely small populations (PSESP) with only four individuals found in Gaoligong Mountain. With the aim of providing data for future conservation efforts, we sequenced the whole chloroplast (cp) genome of C. lanceolata. The results showed that the plastid genome is 136,404 bp in size. In total, 116 unique genes were annotated, including 83 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. The total GC content was 35.1%. We performed phylogenetic analyses based on 12 cp genomes of Taxaceae, and we determined that the genus Cephalotaxus forms a sister group to Taxus and Pseudotaxus.The complete Allantus togatus (Panzer, 1801) mitogenome was determined and analyzed. The mitogenome contains typical 37 genes with identical order to Allantoides luctifer mitogenomes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that A. togatus clustered together with A. viennensis. The wide genetic distances found between lineages of A. togatus lead to the assumption of cryptic species. These complete mitogenomes provide valuable information at the genomic level that can be utilized to sustain bioresources to deepen the understanding of cryptic diversity within Allantinae.The white-tailed mole (Parascaptor leucura) belongs to genus Parascaptor, which is a monotypic genus distributed across Southwestern China, Assam (India), Bengal, and Northern Burma, and Laos. In this study, we obtained the complete mitochondrial genome of Parascaptor leucura. The genome is total 16,875 bp in length, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNA), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNA), and two non-coding regions, with a base composition of 33.5% A, 26.4% T, 25.7% C, and 14.3% G. The nucleotide sequence data of 13 protein-coding genes of P. leucura and other nine Eulipotyphla species were used to reconstruct a Bayesian phylogenetic tree. The tree shows that P. leucura belongs to subfamily Talpinae and is closely related to Scaptochirus moschatus.Taxodium 'Zhongshanshan 401' is an important economic plant with ornamental and ecological values, and has been widely planted in southeastern China. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of T. 'Zhongshanshan 401' was sequenced and illustrated to add the more genetic information. The entire cp genome of T. 'Zhongshanshan 401' was 132,037 bp in length with 35.3% overall GC content. The cp genome contained 120 genes, including 83 protein-coding genes, 33 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes. Fifteen genes contain two exons and two contains three exons. Phylogenetic analysis based on whole cp genome sequences showed that T. 'Zhongshanshan 401' was more closely related to T. mucronatum.Complete mitochondrial genome data are frequently applied to address phylogenetic/phylogeographic issues at different taxonomic levels in ecology and evolution. While sample preparation/sequencing is becoming more and more straightforward thanks to dropping costs for next-generation sequencing (NGS), data preparation and visualization remains a manually intensive step that may lead to errors if improperly conducted. We have elaborated, and here introduce, EZmito, a simple and intuitive, freely accessible Web Server aimed at automating some of these tasks. EZmito is divided into three main tools EZpipe that assembles DNA matrices for phylo-mitogenomic analyses; EZskew that calculates genome, strand, and codon nucleotide compositional skews and EZcodon which computes Relative Synonymous Codon Usage statistics as well as amino acid usage frequency over multiple mitogenomes. Output is produced in tabular format as well as publication-quality graphics.In this work, the complete mitogenome of Saccharina cultivar 'Dongfang No.3' is reported. This mitogenome has a circular mapping organization with the length of 37,657 bp and contains 66 genes, including 35 protein-coding genes, three rRNAs, 25 tRNAs, and three open reading frames (orfs). The overall AT content is 64.73%, showing a higher AT content. The gene content and gene sequence are consistent with those reported varieties and cultivars of Saccharina. Chinese main Saccharina cultivars are analyzed by phylogenetic analysis. It indicates that 'Dongfang No.3' has a close relationship with Saccharina japonica, which strongly supports its genetic origin. The complete mitogenome analysis in this work would help in understanding the genetic background of Chinese Saccharina cultivars.In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of Sanghuangporus vaninii Zhehuang-1 was determined. Genomic DNA samples individually collected from a population in southeastern China (Qiandaohu, Zhejiang Province, N29°44'24'', E118°52'48'') were sequenced with an Illumina NovaSeq 6000. The complete mitochondrial genome was 97,345 bp in length and consisted of 22 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 29 tRNAs, 3 ribosomal RNAs, and a control region. Sanghuangporus vaninii has a mitochondrial gene arrangement that is similar to that of S. sanghuang. Phylogenetic analysis performed using ML methods based on the complete mitogenome sequence showed that S. vaninii is a member of the Polyporaceae. The complete mitogenome sequence provides important data for further study of the Inonotus linteus complex.Diplonevra is one of the most important genera in the family Phoridae.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/borussertib.html  This genus is mainly distributed in Palearctic region, and its species can be used to estimate the postmortem interval. In this study, we first present two mitochondrial genomes of common necrophagous species of this genus, Diplonevra funebris (Meigen, 1830) and Diplonevra peregrina (Wiedemann, 1830). Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree revealed that the genus Diplonevra is closely related to the genus Dohrniphora within the family Phoridae. This work expands the knowledge about the Phoridae genomes, and contributes to the further study of species identification and phylogenetics of this family.We report the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of a case-making moth Acanthopsyche nigraplaga Wileman, 1911 (Lepidoptera Psychidae). The 15,704 bp long complete mitogenome comprises a typical set of genes [13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes] and one major non-coding, A + T-rich region, with an arrangement identical to that observed in most lepidopteran mitogenomes. Twelve of the 13 PCGs of the A. nigraplaga mitogenome initiate with a typical ATN start codon, however COI contains the atypical CGA start codon that is common for lepidopteran COI genes. A phylogenetic analysis using concatenated nucleotide sequences of the 13 PCGs and 2 rRNA genes using the Bayesian inference method fully resolved A. nigraplaga in a monophyletic clade within the Psychidae. Acanthopsyche nigraplaga was situated in a sister position to Eumeta variegata and Mahasena oolona with high nodal support. As more mitogenome sequences are available further scrutinized analysis for the superfamily Tineoidea including Psychidae will be possible.
