Abstract excerpt
Wild pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) represents an important reservoir of genetic diversity for conservation and breeding; however, information on its population genetic structure in the Himalayan region remains scarce. This study provides the first detailed assessment from the Pir Panjal range, examining genetic diversity, population structure, and differentiation among 80 wild pomegranate samples using 25 SSR...
