The trnT-trnF chloroplast gene has been described as an excellent marker for demonstrating genetic diversity and understanding the evolution of plants through molecular methods such as polymerase chain reaction and phylogenetic studies. In fact, the trnT-trnF chloroplast gene exhibits a high degree of localized polymorphism within the spacers and the intron and this variability of the trnT-trnF gene allowed plants to diversify and evolve. Understanding the variability of the structure of the trnT-trnF gene and the evolution of Dioscorea species through this study will assist plant development. Our PCR et sequencing results revealed considerable length variation of trnT-L, trnL and trnL-F between the Dioscorea sp of Cote D’Ivoire and the other Dioscorea sp. We also found that a part of the trnT-L gene of Dioscorea sp of Cote D’Ivoire has been deleted whereas the trnL intron has undergone an insertion.
