Abstract excerpt
We have found that genomic diversity is generally positively correlated with abiotic and biotic stress levels (1-3). However, beyond a high-threshold level of stress, the diversity declines to a few adapted genotypes. The Dead Sea is the harshest planetary hypersaline environment (340 g.liter-1 t...
