Abstract

(Willd. ex Spreng.) K. Schum., an economically important tree in the family Malvaceae, is native to the Amazonian region of South America and it is widely cultivated as a tropical crop. Herein, we report the complete chloroplast genome of . The size of the complete chloroplast genome of is 160,606 bp with 36.88% GC content, which includes a pair of inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,496 bp separated by a large single-copy region (LSC) of 89,429 bp and a small single copy (SSC) region of 20,185 bp. A total of 126 genes were annotated, of which 82 were protein-coding genes, 36 were transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and 8 were ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. A maximum-likelihood (ML) analysis supported a close relationship between and This study will provide useful information for further phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis of Malvaceae.
