  abstract = {{T}he genus {D}ioscorea ({D}ioscoreaceae) contains several economically important species for human consumption, medical and pharmaceutical uses. {T}he phylogeny of this genus is not yet fully resolved. {A}s a result, the relationships between cultivated yams and their wild relatives are not well understood and this negatively affects the understanding of the evolution of cultivated yams. {H}ere, we reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of the main {A}frican cultivated species with all {W}est {A}frican species in order to better circumscribe the crop wild relatives of {A}frican yams. {C}omplete plastomes of 57 individuals representing all 17 known {D}ioscorea species from {W}est {A}frica were reconstructed. {T}ree topologies generated using maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood approaches were highly congruent. {S}ix monophyletic groups were obtained. {A}ll the species were distinct except within the cultivated clade, where it was not possible to separate the two main cultivated species ({D}. cayenensis, {D}. rotundata) from their closest {W}est {A}frican wild relatives ({D}. abyssinica, {D}. praehensilis, {D}. sagittifolia). {D}ioscorea baya formed a monophyletic group closely related to the cultivated clade. {W}e therefore suggest it is included within the yam crop-wild relative complex.},
