Abstract excerpt
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) harbors diverse alpine flora, including the ecologically significant shrubs Dasiphora fruticosa and D. glabra, for which taxonomic uncertainties remain and adaptive mechanisms are still poorly understood. Based on high-quality genome assembly, population resequencing, and multi-omics integration, we elucidated their evolutionary divergence and flower color genetics....
