The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Hance var. W.C. Cheng (Moraceae).

var. is an edible plant popular throughout China where it has a long history of use in traditional She medicine. Using Illumina sequencing, we assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of var. which is 160,526 bp and encodes 130 genes, comprised of 85 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and eight ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. Phylogenetic analysis resolved var. as sister to which together formed a clade with . This complete cp genome sequences is a valuable resource for future studies of evolution and species delimitation in genus as well as variety breeding and conservation for this species.
