Plant Divers

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a critically endangered plant species with very few populations, assessing its genetic diversity using advanced DNA sequencing technology.
- Results showed high genetic diversity and moderate differentiation among the populations, with distinct genetic groupings identified.
- The research indicates a significant population bottleneck around 70,000 years ago and suggests that environmental changes might have led to the species diverging from a relative about 3.05 million years ago, emphasizing the need for conservation efforts, including seed collection.
