Comparative transcriptomics provides insights into molecular mechanisms of zinc tolerance in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Suillus luteus.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is a major soil contaminant and high Zn levels can disrupt growth, survival, and reproduction of fungi. Some fungal species evolved Zn tolerance through cell processes mitigating Zn toxicity, although the genes and detailed mechanisms underlying mycorrhizal fungal Zn tolerance remain unexplored. To fill this gap in knowledge, we investigated the gene expression of Zn tolerance in the ectomycorrhizal fungus Suillus luteus. We found that Zn tolerance in this species is mainly a constitutive trait that can also be environmentally dependent. Zinc tolerance in S. luteus is associated with differences in the expression of genes involved in metal exclusion and immobilization, as well as recognition and mitigation of metal-induced oxidative stress. Differentially expressed genes were predicted to be involved in transmembrane transport, metal chelation, oxidoreductase activity, and signal transduction. Some of these genes were previously reported as candidates for S. luteus Zn tolerance, while others are reported here for the first time. Our results contribute to understanding the mechanisms of fungal metal tolerance and pave the way for further research on the role of fungal metal tolerance in mycorrhizal associations.
