Abstract excerpt

Karst tiankengs-giant enclosed sinkholes-harbor humid, shaded forests that may buffer climate stress yet isolate populations. Here, we generated a near telomere-to-telomere genome assembly for the endangered karst tree Magnolia aromatica and resequenced 26 populations across tiankeng interiors and surrounding habitats in southwest China. Population genomics resolved four lineages and indicated a history of...
