Genomic pattern of adaptive divergence in Arabidopsis halleri, a model species for tolerance to heavy metal.

Abstract excerpt

Pollution by heavy metals is one of the strongest environmental constraints in human-altered environments that only a handful of species can cope with. Identifying the genes conferring to those species the ability to grow in polluted areas is a first step towards a global understanding of the evolutionary processes involved and will eventually improve phytoremediation practices. We used a genome-scan approach to...
