Project description:In order to study changes in gene expression during mushroom development in Schizophyllum commune, genome wide gene expression was analysed in 4 developmental stages: vegetative mycelium, stage I aggregates, stage II primordia and mature mushrooms
Project description:Transcriptome changes associated with mating interactions were performed in order to identify signaling components and targets of pheromone response. Two monokaryons (S. commune 12-43 and 4-39), a dikaryon (W22 x 12-43), both semi-compatible mating interactions (Aon: W22 x 4-39; Bon, flat: W21 x 4-39), and different S. commune pheromone receptor recipient strains (Vbar2f, Vbar2t) were analyzed for that purpose. In addition, a S. commune strain showing the thin-phenotype (W22-thin) was investigated to figure out the role of Thn1 in mating.
Project description:In order to study the effect of light on gene expression in Schizophyllum commune, genome wide gene expression was analysed in 4-day-old monokaryotic and dikaryotic wild type colonies, grown either in light or in darkness.
Project description:The transcription factors Hom2 and Fst4 were shown to be involved in mushroom development in the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune. When the genes encoding Hom2 or Fst4 were deleted, no mushrooms formed. In this study we performed a genome-wide expression analysis on dikaryons of wild-type, delta-hom2 and delta-fst4.
