The complete chloroplast genome of Mimusops elengi (Sapotaceae: Sapoteae).

ABSTRACT: The first complete chloroplast genome sequences of Mimusops elengi Linaeus, 1753 (Sapotaceae: Sapoteae) were reported in this study. The cpDNA of M. elengi is 159,719 bp in length, contains a large single-copy region (LSC) of 88,935 bp and a small single-copy region (SSC) of 18,606 bp, which were separated by a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions of 26,089 bp. The genome contains 132 genes, including 87 protein-coding genes, 8 ribosomal RNA genes, and 37 transfer RNA genes. The overall GC content of the whole genome is 36.8%. Phylogenetic analysis of 8 chloroplast genomes within the tribe Sapoteae suggests that the sister relationship of Autranella and Tieghemella are strongly supported. Minusops genus is close to Autranella and Tieghemella, altho
