  abstract = {{T}he emergence of symbiotic interactions has been studied using population genomics in nature and experimental evolution in the laboratory, but the parallels between these processes remain unknown. {H}ere we compare the emergence of rhizobia after the horizontal transfer of a symbiotic plasmid in natural populations of {C}upriavidus taiwanensis, over 10 {MY} ago, with the experimental evolution of symbiotic {R}alstonia solanacearum for a few hundred generations. {I}n spite of major differences in terms of time span, environment, genetic background, and phenotypic achievement, both processes resulted in rapid genetic diversification dominated by purifying selection. {W}e observe no adaptation in the plasmid carrying the genes responsible for the ecological transition. {I}nstead, adaptation was associated with positive selection in a set of genes that led to the co-option of the same quorum-sensing system in both processes. {O}ur results provide evidence for similarities in experimental and natural evolutionary transitions and highlight the potential of comparisons between both processes to understand symbiogenesis.},
