Abstract
The Lucuma nervosa, native to Western Ghats of India, Malaysia and south-eastern Asia, is a tree member of the mulberry family (Sapotaceae). Chloroplast genome sequences play an significant role in the development of molecular markers in plant phylogenetic and population genetic studies. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence of L. nervosa for the first time. The chloroplast genome is 157,920 bp long and includes 113 genes. Its LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 88,123, 18,861, and 25,468 bp long, respectively. Phylogenetic tree analysis exhibited that L. nervosa was clustered with other Sapotaceae species with high bootstrap values.
