Comparative genomics and phylogenetic analysis of seven <i>Ficus</i> species based on chloroplast genomes

Our study provides new, consistently assembled and rigorously annotated chloroplast genome data for <i>Ficus</i>, including clarified data for previously studied species with notable gene content discrepancies. These data identify candidate molecular markers with potential applications for systematics and population genetics, and offer robust insights into relationships among sampled taxa. These data will facilitate future studies of <i>Ficus</i> evolution and conservation when complemented by broader taxon sampling and nuclear/mitochondrial data.
