A gene-based pangenome reveals genomic divergence and altitudinal differentiation in allotetraploid quinoa
Four positively selected genes, including NADH-quinone oxidoreductase and MT-A70, harbor population-specific amino acid substitutions that may contribute to differential adaptation, potentially optimizing photosynthetic metabolism, RNA epigenetic modification, and protein homeostasis.
