<p>The 25 <i>G</i>. <i>inflata</i> populations distributed in the Hexi Corridor of Gansu province, the Hami Basin and the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang province. The spatial genetic structure assignment of wild <i>G</i>. <i>inflata</i> occurred at <i>K</i> = 3. The three colours represent three clusters that strongly matched the geographic distribution. The first cluster of populations (blue) was distributed in the Hami Basin and Hexi Corridor. The populations that were collected from the south and north rims of the Tarim Basin belonged to the second cluster (green). The third cluster populations (red) came from the west rim of the Tarim Basin.</p
