Abstract excerpt
Catalpa huangxin, a distinctive taxon within the genus Catalpa in China, is valued for its ornamental beauty and durable yellow heartwood. However, its wild populations are declining due to climate change and human activities, posing urgent conservation challenges. The unclear genetic diversity and population structure further complicate its protection and breeding efforts. To address these issues, this study...
