Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The visual similarities observed across various plant groups often conceal underlying genetic distinctions. This occurrence, known as cryptic diversity, underscores the key importance of identifying and understanding cryptic intraspecific evolutionary lineages in evolutionary ecology and conservation biology. RESULTS: In this study, we conducted transcriptome analysis of 81 individuals from 18 natural...
