Genetic structure and local adaptation of Nitraria sphaerocarpa populations from arid northwestern China
In conclusion, the spatial genetic structure of <i>N. sphaerocarpa</i> populations showed a fragmented pattern in the latitude gradient. The main pressure of environmental adaptation was the changes of temperature and precipitation. Physiological adaptation appears to be an important mechanism in response to environmental stress.
