Local adaptation to mercury contamination by nitrogen-fixing rhizobia is driven by horizontal gene transfer, copy number, and enhanced gene expression

2023-12-27

Abstract excerpt

Mercury (Hg) is highly toxic and has the potential to cause severe health problems for foraging animals and humans when transported into edible plant parts. Soil rhizobia that form symbiosis with legumes may possess mechanisms to prevent heavy metal translocation from roots to shoots in plants by exporting metals from nodules or compartmentalizing metal ions inside nodules. Using long-read sequencing, we assembled...
