Interspecies evolutionary divergence in Liriodendron, evidence from the nucleotide variations of LcDHN-like gene

Abstract Background Liriodendron is a genus of Magnoliaceae, which consists of two relict species, Liriodendron chinense and L. tulipifera. Although the morphologies are highly similar, the two species exhibit different adaptive capacity. Dehydrins (DHNs) are abiotic stresses resistant proteins in p...
