It has been domesticated from its wild variety, B. gasipaes var. chichagui, since pre-Columbian times. In this study, we sequenced the plastome of the cultivated variety, B. gasipaes Kunth var. gasipaes and compared it with the published plastome of the wild variety. The chloroplast sequence obtained was 156,580 bp. The cultivated chloroplast sequence was conserved compared to the wild type sequence with 99.8% of nucleotide identity. We did, however, identify multiple Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs), insertions, microsatellites and a resolved region of missing nucleotides. A SNV in one of the core barcode markers (matK) was detected between the wild and cultivated accessions. Phylogenetic analysis was carried out across the Arecaceae family and compared to previous reports, resulting in an identical topology. This study is a step forward in understanding the genome evolution of this species. specialized Chloroplast plastome Novoplasty peach palm phylogeny 076 020 7 8 1540-1544 2022 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010086003 10.1080/23802359.2022.2109437 [F B010086003] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010086003 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2022-10/010086003.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2022-10-07 2025-02-24 fdi:010086003 fre
