Fungal heavy metal adaptation through single nucleotide polymorphisms and copy‐number variation Universiteit Hasselt Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Human-altered environments can shape the evolution of organisms. Fungi are no exception, although little is known about how they withstand anthropogenic pollution. Here, we document adaptation in the mycorrhizal fungusSuillus luteusdriven by soil heavy metal contamination. Genome scans across individuals from recently polluted and nearby unpolluted soils in Belgium revealed low divergence across isolates and no evidence of population structure ...
