Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Leaf morphology is a critical adaptive trait in plants, yet its genetic basis and environmental drivers remain poorly resolved in natural populations. Heldreichia bupleurifolia, a polymorphic alpine species in Turkey, exhibits three distinct leaf morphotypes (entire, mixed, lobed/dissected) across a west-to-east geographical gradient. This study aims to investigate genome-wide patterns of...
