Abstract
Banyan tree or Ficus microcarpa is a large perennial plant with extraordinary aerial roots from the Moraceae family. In this study, the complete chloroplast genome sequence of F. microcarpa was assembled using PacBio data. The chloroplast genome size is 141,611 bp, consisting of a large single-copy (LSC) region and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 101,835 bp and 9,676 bp, respectively, which are separated by a pair of 15,050 bp inverted repeat (IR) regions. The genome includes 74 protein-coding genes, 43 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. A phylogenetic tree reconstructed by 25 complete chloroplast genomes reveals that F. microcarpa is mostly related to Ficus racemosa.
