摘　　要：Climate change is increasingly affecting agricultural outputs,as evidenced by the changing global temperature and extreme weather events that significantly impact crop yields(Lesk et al.,2016).To address this challenge,there is a growing interest in developing crops that can endure these adverse conditions to ensure food security.Numerous examples in nature show how crops have adapted to diverse environments(Gutaker and Purugganan,2023),leaving behind a rich genomic legacy.Population genomics has started to provide insights into these adaptive processes from evolutionary and genetic perspectives(Savolainen et al.,2013;Aguirre-Liguori et al.,2021;Sang et al.,2022).Recently,Zhang et al.(Zhang et al.,2024)investigated alfalfa(Medicago sativa ssp.sativa),known as the"queen of forages,"for its broad adaptability.By analyzing whole-genome sequencing data of 702 accessions from 24 Medicago species,this study enriches our understanding of how to develop crops and meet the challenges of climate change.
