![The cover image shows Tianmen Mountain National Forest Park, the habitat of Salvia daiguii. This species is only distributed on cliffs around caves, and faces an extremely high risk of extinction. In this special issue of Annals of Botany, Xiao et al. present a study that utilizes whole genome resequencing data to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the population genetic diversity and structure, population history, and deleterious mutations of S. daiguii, elucidating the genetic basis for the species’ endangered status.
