Shared genomic signatures of Arctic adaptation among distantly related plant lineages
Extreme environments impose strong selection pressures that can drive convergent adaptation among distantly related species. Arctic plants survive low temperatures, 24-hour light in summer and darkness in winter, short growing seasons, limited precipitation, nutrient-poor soils, and extreme seasonal variation. To test if these conditions are associated with shared genomic signatures, we generated…
