Abstract

Macaranga tanarius (L.) Muell. Arg. is a tree species within Euphorbiaceae, which can be used for building timber and its extract can be used to treat diabetes. In this report, we describe the complete plastome sequence of Macaranga tanarius. The complete plastome of Macaranga tanarius (L.) Muell. Arg. is of 165,362 bp in length, and it is with typical plastome structure and gene content of angiosperm plastome, including two reverse repeat regions (IRs) of 27,503 bp, large single copy region (LSC) of 91,443 bp, and small single copy (SSC) region of 18,913 bp. The plastome contains 131 genes, including 85 protein coding genes, 38 tRNA genes, eight rRNA genes (i.e., 5S rRNA, 4.5S rRNA, 16S rRNA, and 23S rRNA). The total G/C content of Macaranga tanarius (L.) Muell. Arg.plastome is 35.6%. The complete plastome sequence is conducive to the development and utilization of Euphorbiaceae resources and the phylogenetic study.
