Understanding how organisms adapt to extreme living conditions is central to evolutionary
biology. Dark septate endophytes (DSEs) constitute an important component of the root
mycobiome and they are often able to alleviate host abiotic stresses. Here, we investigated
the molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial association between the DSE
Laburnicola rhizohalophila and its host, the native halophyte Suaeda salsa, using
population genomics. Based on genome-wide Fst (pairwise fixation index) and Vst analyses …
