In plants, partial DNA sequences of chloroplasts have been widely used in evolutionary studies. However, the Cactaceae family (1500-1800 species) lacks molecular markers that allow a phylogenetic resolution between species and genera. order to identify with high variation levels, we compared previously reported complete chloroplast genomes seven
