摘要:
To explore the influence of vicariance on differentiation patterns of taxa in arid regions, we systematically assessed the genetic diversity and variability of Capparis spinosa, a typical xerophyte that is widely distributed in the Tianshan Mountains and adjacent areas. In total, 300 individuals from 25 populations were sampled, and 14 haplotypes were identified using two cpDNA sequences (rpS12-rpL20 and ndhF). A high level of total genetic diversity (H
