Characterization of the complete chloroplast genome of Sanming wild banana (Musa itinerans) and phylogenetic relationships.

ABSTRACT: Sanming wild banana (Musa itinerans) is a cold resistant wild banana found in Fujian province of China. In this study, we characterized its complete chloroplast genome using BGISEQ-500 sequencing. The chloroplast genome is 171,815 bp in size, containing a pair of IR regions (35,142 bp), a large single copy region (89,995 bp), and a small single copy region (11,464 bp). The whole chloroplast genome contains 111 unique genes, including 78 protein-coding genes, 29 tRNAs, and 4 rRNAs. Phylogenetic maximum likelihood analysis revealed that Sanming wild banana showed the closest relationship with Musa itinerans that collected from Yunnan Province of China.
