New plastomes of eight Ipomoea species and four putative hybrids from Eastern Amazon. by Marcele Laux, Renato R M Oliveira, Santelmo Vasconcelos, Eder S Pires, Talvâne G L Lima, Mayara Pastore, Gisele L Nunes, Ronnie Alves, Guilherme Oliveira

“…In the Carajás mountain range, located in Eastern Amazon, the savannah-like ferruginous ecosystem known as canga harbors highly specialized plant and animal populations, and Ipomoea is substantially representative in such restrictive habitat. Thus, to provide genetic data and insights into whole plastome phylogenetic relationships among key Ipomoea species from Eastern Amazon with little to none previously available data, we present the complete plastome sequences of twelve lineages of the genus, including the canga microendemic I. cavalcantei, the closely related I. marabaensis, and their putative hybrids. …”
