Complete Chloroplast Genomes of Vogel and Benth: Comparative and Phylogenetic Analyses.

Background: The species and , popularly known as white sucupira or faveira, are native to the Cerrado biome and have the potential for medicinal use and reforestation. They are sister species with evolutionary proximity.

Objective: Considering that the chloroplast genome exhibits a conserved structure and genes, the analysis of its sequences can contribute to the understanding of evolutionary, phylogenetic, and diversity issues.

Chloroplast genome characterization of Uncaria guianensis and Uncaria tomentosa and evolutive dynamics of the Cinchonoideae subfamily.

Uncaria species are used in traditional medicine and are considered of high therapeutic value and economic importance. This work describes the assembly and annotation of the chloroplast genomes of U. guianensis and U.
