Telomere-to-telomere genome of a dodecaploid desert shrub Prunus pedunculata reveals polyploidy-driven arid adaptation
Geographical imbalance in extremophile plant genomics has left the Mongolian Plateau underexplored. Prunus pedunculata , a desert shrub endemic to this arid region, provides an ideal system for understanding woody plant adaptation to extreme drought, yet its genomic architecture remains unknown. He...
