Abstract

Gongronema latifolium (Apocynaceae) is a versatile plant of nutritional and medicinal value and is widely distributed and endemic to the South-Eastern region of Nigeria. The plant is relatively wild and its natural habitat is threatened by de- forestation, excessive exploitation and constant expansion of the urban areas into its endemic space. Hence, there is a need to understand its genetic diversity for breeding and conservation. The data consist of fourteen partial rbcL gene sequences, nucleotide compositions and amino acid profiles of G. latifolium . The data set provides insight on the species genetic diversity and evolution that is important for scientist and breeders alike as well as for conservation effort s of the species.
