Transcriptomes of <i>Saussurea</i> (Asteraceae) Provide Insights into High-Altitude Adaptation

Understanding how species adapt to extreme environments is an extension of the main goals of evolutionary biology. While alpine plants are an ideal system for investigating the genetic basis of high-altitude adaptation, genomic resources in these species are still limited. In the present study, we g...
