Genetic diversity may help evolutionary rescue in a clonal endemic plant species of Western Himalaya

Abstract Habitat loss due to climate change may cause the extinction of the clonal species with a limited distribution range. Thus, determining the genetic diversity required for adaptability by these species in sensitive ecosystems can help infer the chances of their survival and spread in changing...
