Neltuma pallida Raw sequence reads
Distinct specimens distributed along Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests (SDTF) from Peru are named as Neltuma pallida (Prosopis pallida before). However, morphological and ecological traits suggested differences. High-throughput sequencing of a truly specimen of N. pallida from SDTFM-Peru (PA024) resulted in the assembly of its complete plastid genome (GenBank accession number PX959571). The plastome of this Algarrobo is 163,177 bp in length and contains 130 genes. This plastome is similar to other members of Neltuma, except for the absence of the gene infA, in contrast to other Neltuma species in which this gene is present and functional. Also, the genetic distance revealed low divergence among its congeners and it is closer than N. chilensis and N. alba. Outcomes suggested that this plastid genome does not correspond to any previously misidentified or published plastid genome. Our results provided a better understanding of the diversification of Neltuma, in the Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests from Peru.
