Abstract
Spondias dulcis is a deciduous tree in the family Anacardiaceae. The species originates in South America and now is widely cultivated in tropical areas due to its edible fruits. In this study, we find that the length of the complete plastome of S. dulcis is 162,256 bp. It includes 35 tRNA genes and eight rRNA genes, 86 protein-coding genes and totally 130 genes. The complete plastome of S. dulcis includes a small single-copy (SSC) region of 18,459 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 89,353 bp, and two inverted repeats (IRs) regions of 27,222 bp. The total G/C content of S. dulcis is 37.7%. It shows that S. dulcis is closely related to S. mombin within Anacardiaceae. It will contribute to the conservation genetics of S. dulcis and the phylogenetic studies in Anacardiaceae.
