Poro-poro is an important native fruit used in traditional Peruvian medicine with relevant agro-industrial and pharmaceutical potential for its antioxidant capacity for human health. However, to date, there have been few genetic studies. The lack of genomic exploration limits the possibility of expanding our knowledge of its molecular evolution, new molecular pathways, genetic traits, and evolutionary relationships. Here, we report the plastid genome sequence of Passiflora tripartita var. mollissima and the reconstructed phylogenetic tree to infer the phylogenetic relationships among Passiflora species. Our phylogenetic analysis showed that poro-poro is most closely related to Passiflora menispermifolia and Passiflora oerstedii. In summary, our study provides the basis for developing new molecular markers that constitutes a valuable resource for studying molecular evolution and domestication. It also provides a powerful foundation for conservation genetics research and plant breeding programs. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the plastid genome of Passiflora tripartita var. mollissima from Peru.
