Abstract

Abstract Mimusops coriacea (A. DC.) Miq. (Sapotoideae, Sapotaceae, Ericales) is native to Madagascar and the Comoro Islands. This species is cultivated in many countries around the world and grows on sand in coastal vegetation. Here we sequenced, assembled, and annotated the first complete chloroplast genome of M. coriacea. The newly assembled chloroplast was analyzed with other available chloroplasts of Sapotaceae. Our results found a general conserved structure. The complete chloroplast genome has 159,689 bp, including 133 genes distributed in four regions: a large single-copy region of 88,887 bp, a small single-copy region of 18,618 bp, and two inverted repeats of 26,092 bp each. Our maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree was generated with 80 protein-coding genes and recovered a monophyletic Sapotaceae sister to a clade formed by Ebenaceae + Primulaceae. In our analysis, Mimusops coriacea clustered with the other eight species of Sapotaceae included in the study. (AU)
