ABSTRACT
Plants thriving in harsh environments are at risk of extinction due to climate change. Hu et al. sequenced the genome of a high-altitude Himalayan moss, Takakia lepidozioides, and revealed that genes contributing to growth and stress adaptation are fast-evolving. However, the population of Takakia is now declining, inferring early warning signals of global warming.
