Genetic differentiation and historical dynamics of the endemic species Rheum pumilum on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau inferred from phylogeography implications
These findings suggest a correlation between genetic diversity, haplotype lineage divergence and key geological and climatic events, notably the uplift of the QTP, monsoon climate changes, and the climatic oscillations during the Quaternary ice ages. This study might provide valuable insights into the formation mechanisms of plant diversity on the QTP, crucial for biodiversity conservation and sustainable species development in extreme environments.
