研究実績の概要 |
In the second year, we successfully conducted experiments with gradients of increasing harshness with two different kinds of stress, such as fungicide and high salt concentration. As expected, each successive zone required a different mechanism for the fungi to cope with the new environment. The speed of adaptation in this variant became a proxy of how fast the fungi can reorient themselves to new stress with each new zone. We also conducted mixing competition assay into additional culture experiments by making the starting colony a 50:50 mixture of hybrid-diploid pair that share closely related subgenomes. Nanopore sequencing was also conducted to retrieve genomic data. The results are being analyzed in depth.
