Agaricus bisporus is the model fungus for adaptation, persistence, and growth in humic-rich leaf-litter environment. Aside from its ecological role, A. has been an important component of human diet over 200 y worldwide cultivation "button mushroom" forms a multibillion dollar industry. We present two genomes, their gene repertoires transcript profiles on compost during mushroom formation. The genomes encode full repertoire polysaccharide-degrading enzymes similar to that wood-decayers....
The button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) is one of the world’s most cultivated species, but in spite its economic importance generation new cultivars by outbreeding exceptional. Previous genetic analyses white bisporus variety, including all and wild isolates revealed that crossing over frequencies are low, which might explain lack introducing novel traits into existing cultivars. By generating two high quality whole genome sequence assemblies (one de novo other improving reference genome)...
Recombination is a major evolutionary force, increasing genetic diversity and permitting efficient coevolution of fungal pathogen(s) with their host(s). The ascomycete Fusarium graminearum devastating pathogen cereal crops, can contaminate food feed harmful mycotoxins. Previous studies have suggested high adaptive potential this pathogen, illustrated by an increase in pathogenicity resistance to fungicides. In study, we provide the first detailed picture crossover events occurring during...
ABSTRACT As in other crops, yield is an important trait to be selected for edible mushrooms, but its inheritance poorly understood. Therefore, we have investigated the complex genetic architecture of yield-related traits Agaricus bisporus through mapping quantitative loci (QTL), using second-generation hybrid progeny derived from a cross between wild strain and commercial cultivar. Yield, average weight per mushroom, number fruiting bodies m 2 , earliness, cap color were evaluated two...
Fusarium graminearum is one of the main causal agents Head Blight, a worldwide disease affecting cereal cultures, whose presence can lead to contaminated grains with chemically stable and harmful mycotoxins. Resistant cultivars fungicides are frequently used control this pathogen, several observations suggest an adaptation F. that raises concerns regarding future current plant management strategies. To understand genetic basis as well extent its adaptive potential, we investigated landscape...
In heterothallic basidiomycete fungi, sexual compatibility is restricted by mating types, typically controlled two loci: PR, encoding pheromone precursors and receptors, HD, types of homeodomain transcription factors. We analysed the single mating-type locus commercial button mushroom variety, Agaricus bisporus var. bisporus, related variety burnettii. identified location using genetic map genome information, corresponding to HD locus, PR having lost its role. found mip1 β-fg genes flanking...
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene cluster is widely used in fungal taxonomy and phylogeographic studies. medicinal edible mushroom Agaricus subrufescens has a worldwide distribution with high level polymorphism ITS region. A previous analysis suggested notable sequence heterogeneity within wild French isolate CA487. objective this study was to investigate pattern potential mechanism strain. Using PCR, cloning, sequencing, we identified three types...
Dry bubble, caused by Lecanicillium fungicola, is one of the most detrimental diseases affecting button mushroom cultivation. In a previous study, we demonstrated that breeding for resistance to this pathogen quite challenging due its quantitative inheritance. A second-generation hybrid progeny derived from an intervarietal cross between wild strain and commercial cultivar was characterized L. fungicola under artificial inoculation in three independent experiments. Analysis trait loci (QTL)...
Abstract Comparative linkage mapping can rapidly facilitate the transfer of genetic information from model species to orphan species. This macrosynteny analysis approach has been extensively used in plant species, but few example are available fungi, and even fewer mushroom crop Among latter, Agaricus genus comprises most cultivable or potentially bisporus, button mushroom, is for edible mushrooms. We have developed first map basidiomycete A. subrufescens, an emerging known its therapeutic...
