Genomic signatures of habitat isolation and paleo-climate unveil the “island-like” pattern in the glasshouse plant Rheum nobile by Hum Kala Rana, Santosh Kumar Rana, Hang Sun, Dong Luo

“…The Himalaya and the Hengduan Mountains, known for their ‘Sky Islands’ ecosystems, offer a unique opportunity to study genomic differentiation of endemic plants. While there is growing research on the genetic mechanisms underlying the distinctiveness of species in these regions, gaps remain in understanding the specific genomic processes shaping the “island-like” genetic structure of Rheum nobile. …”
