Although some population and genetic analyses have been conducted for this species, no extensive comparisons of genetic variation from plastomes have yet been investigated.<h4>Methods</h4>We <i>de novo</i> assembled a total of 322 complete <i>P. mume</i> plastomes in this study and did a series of comparative analyses to better resolve pan-plastomic patterns of <i>P. mume</i>. To determine the phylogeny and domestication history of this species, we reconstructed the phylogenetic tree of <i>Prunus</i> genus, and resolved the population structure of <i>P. mume</i>.
