Summary: The study completed the mitochondrial genome of the white-backed planthopper, finding heteroplasmy and genetic variations among populations from Korea and China. These variations could potentially serve as markers for distinguishing geographical populations, and Sogatella species, including the white-backed planthopper, seem to have formed a monophyletic clade.

Summary: The study identified high levels of genetic diversity and differentiation among small brown planthopper populations in major rice-producing areas of China. However, there were no genetically distinct groups observed, indicating an admixed phylogeographic structure. There was no correlation between genetic distance and geographic distance, and populations had not undergone severe bottleneck effects.

Summary: In this study, the first mitogenome sequence of Abies alba was assembled and studied. The results revealed that the A. alba mitogenome has a complex and dynamic structure with high combinatorial variation. Comparative analysis also showed a moderate but significant positive correlation between mitogenome size and proportion of repetitive elements in gymnosperms. This research provides a basis for further understanding the structure, phylogeny, and evolution of A. alba.

The circular mitogenome is 15,691 bp long and consists of protein-coding genes, ribosomal RNA genes, transfer RNAs, and a control region. Further phylogenetic studies are needed due to inconsistencies found in the three phylogenetic trees.

Summary: We determined the complete chloroplast genome of Erigeron canadensis isolated in Korea, which differs from the Chinese isolate in terms of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions and deletions (INDEL) regions. A nucleotide diversity analysis revealed a similar pattern of nucleotide diversity in E. canadensis compared to other Erigeron chloroplasts, with a few exceptions. The phylogenetic tree showed clustering of our E. canadensis chloroplast with E. canadensis reported from China, indicating a shared ancestry.
