Abstract

This article investigates the genetic adaptations that enable alpine plants to survive extreme climate conditions. Using genomic analysis, this research identifies specific gene expressions that contribute to resilience against temperature fluctuations and intense UV radiation. These findings are crucial for understanding how flora in alpine ecosystems may respond to ongoing climate changes, providing a framework for conservation efforts and biodiversity management.
