Structural divergence and molecular adaptation of Rhodiola juparensis organelle genomes
The contrasting evolutionary patterns between the two organellar genomes highlight distinct selective constraints and mutation rates and suggest a potential repair mechanism via RNA editing that could mitigate UV‑induced DNA damage, offering an adaptive advantage in the high‑altitude environment.
