The complete chloroplast genome of Musa beccarii.

ABSTRACT: Musa becccarii N.W. Simmonds is one of the most important wild banana species native to Borneo. The chromosome number, 2n = 18, is new to the genus Musa. Wild populations of M. beccarii have been reduced enormously due to massive land clearing for oil palm plantations. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome of Musa beccarii by next-generation sequencing (NGS). The total length of the complete chloroplast genome was 168,457 bp, and the overall GC content of the whole genome is 36.8%. The cp genome of Musa beccarii contained a pair of inverted repeat regions of 34,819 bp, which were separated by the large single copy of 88,166bp and the small single copy of 11,059 bp. It encoded 114 genes, including 79 protein-coding genes, 31 tRNA genes,
