Genomic insights into the survival code of karst plants

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: •Karst endemic plants exhibit profound genetic vulnerability driven by historical and anthropogenic factors.•Whole-genome duplication (WGD) and gene family dynamics are key adaptive mechanisms for karst plant survival.•Genomic data enable precision conservation strategies for endangered karst plants.
