Abstract

Abstract: Musa banksii is a species of wild banana in the genus Musa, native to New Guinea, Manus, northern Australia and some islands of eastern Indonesia. In this study, the chloroplast genome sequence of M. banksii been assembled and characterized by Illumina sequencing. The complete chloroplast genome was 170, 010 bp in length, containing a large single copy region (LSC) of 88, 373 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) of 10, 769 bp, which were separated by a pair of 35, 434 bp inverted repeat regions (IRs). A total of 136 genes were predicted, including 113 unique genes consisting of 79 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analysis of 11 representative plastomes within the order Zingiberales suggests that M. banksii closely related to the Musa ornata and Musa acuminata .
