摘要
We report the complete chloroplast sequences of two varieties of Theobroma cacao collected in the Bolivian Amazonia using Next-Generation Sequencing. Comparisons made between these two chloroplast genomes and the Belizean reference plastid genome identified 19 and 22 nucleotide variants. The phylogenetic analysis reported three main T. cacao clades belonging to the Forastero, Criollo and Trinitario groups. The Bolivian Native Cacao varieties were located inside the Trinitario group forming their unique branch. The Bolivian Native Cacao branch reveals a possible new subpopulation different from the well-characterized T. cacao subpopulations. The phylogenetic trees showed that the relationships among the T. cacao varieties were consistent with their geographical locations placing the Cacao Center of Origin in Western Amazon. The data presented here will contribute to the usage of ultrabarcoding to distinguish different T. cacao varieties and to identify native cacaos from introduced cacaos. Thus helping in the conservation of local native varieties of T. cacao . ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
