Popis: | Escalation in industrialization and anthropogenic activity have resulted in an increase of pollutants released into the environment. Of these pollutants, heavy metals such as copper are particularly concerning due to their bio-accumulative nature. Due to its highly heterogeneous distribution and its dual nature as an essential micronutrient and toxic element, the genetic basis of copper tolerance is likely shaped by a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (H2020-ERC-2014-CoG-647900). S. R. was funded by the MICINN/FSE/AEI (PRE2018-084755). J.S-O was funded by a Juan de la Cierva-Formación fellowship (FJCI-2016-28380). The DrosEU consortium is funded by an ESEB Special Topic Network. |
