Incipient local adaptation in a fungus: evolution of heavy metal tolerance through allelic and copy-number variation
2019-11-07
Abstract excerpt
Human-altered environments can shape the evolution of organisms. Fungi are no exception, though little is known about how they withstand anthropogenic pollution. Here, we document incipient polygenic local adaptation in the mycorrhizal fungus Suillus luteus driven by recent soil heavy metal contamination. Genome scans across individuals from recently polluted and nearby unpolluted soils in Belgium revealed no evi...
