raw sequence reads of MTA: Musa acuminata var. chinensis

Musa acuminata Colla var. chinensis Hakkinen & Wang Hong belongs to Musa, Musacaea, is one of the most important wild banana species native to China which has huge potential breeding value by its cold tolerance and disease resistance. It is distributed northward along the China-Myanmar border and is found in river watersheds along these slopes, at altitudes between 300 and 800 m that tolerate slight frost damage. It also can grow under shaded tree cover. It is also have basal, hermaphroditic female flowers and therefore self-pollination occurs before the floral bracts open. The information of chloroplast genomes has been extensively applied in understanding plant genetic diversity and evolution that are of great importance in breeding programs. The complete chloroplast genome of Musa acuminata Colla var. chinensis will greatly enhance precious gene resources for banana breeding programs in the future.

小果野蕉中国变种（Musa acuminata Colla var. chinensis Hakkinen & Wang Hong）隶属于芭蕉属（Musa）、芭蕉科（Musacaea），是中国本土最为重要的野生香蕉种质资源之一，凭借其耐寒性与抗病性具备极高的育种潜力。该物种沿中缅边境向北分布，见于沿线流域的坡地生境，海拔区间为300至800米，可耐受轻度霜害，同时也能在林荫遮蔽的环境下生长。其着生于基部的两性雌花可在花苞片展开前完成自花授粉。叶绿体基因组（chloroplast genome）信息已被广泛应用于解析植物的遗传多样性与演化历程，这对育种项目具有重要价值。小果野蕉中国变种的完整叶绿体基因组，将为未来香蕉育种项目提供极为珍贵的基因资源。
