The application of the fungus team has made important progress in the genetic research of lentinus edodes population

Nanhu News Network (correspondent Shen Nan) Recently, a research team led by Professor Yinbing Bian from the School of Plant Science and Technology of our school used the population genomics method for the first time to explore the evolutionary history of economically important edible fungi and analyze the genetic basis of the adaptive evolution of mushrooms The research results will provide an important reference for the selection and breeding of fine mushroom varieties

Shiitake is the most important edible fungus in the world, and its output accounts for 22% of the world's total cultivated edible fungus output, ranking first in all categories

Figure 1 The structure and differentiation of Lentinus edodes population

Combining genome scanning and genome-wide association analysis, the research team discovered a large number of candidate genes related to genetic and phenotypic differentiation among populations

Figure 2 The genetic and phenotypic differentiation model of Lentinus edodes in the process of adaptive evolution

In March of this year, the research team also combined genome, genetic and phenotypic data to analyze the genetic basis of the related traits of mushroom fruiting bodies, deepening the level of understanding of the development of mushrooms forming fungal fruiting bodies, and "RNA-Seq-based high-resolution The research results on linkage map reveals the genetic architecture of fruiting body development in shiitake mushroom, Lentinula edodes" were published online in Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal

Master Zhang Jingcheng and PhD student Nan Shen are the first authors of the Journal of Advanced Research article, Master Zhang Lin and Dr.
