Project description:In this study, we analyzed the genome-wide epigenetic and transcriptional patterns of the white-rot basidiomycete Pleurotus ostreatus throughout its life cycle. Our results performed by using high-throughput sequencing analyses revealed that strain-specific DNA methylation profiles are primarily involved in the repression of transposon activity, and suggest that 21 nt small RNAs play a key role in transposon silencing.Furthermore, we provide evidence that transposon-associated DNA methylation, but not sRNA production, is directly involved in the silencing of genes surrounded by transposons. Finally, we identified key genes activated in the fruiting process through the comparative analysis of transcriptomes.

A comparative transcriptome analysis reveals physiological maturation properties of mycelia in Pleurotus tuoliensis

Project description:Pleurotus tuoliensis is a precious edible fungus with extremely high nutritive and medicinal value. The cultivation period of P. tuoliensis is longer than those of other Pleurotus species, which is mainly due to a longer mycelium physiological maturation period (30-60 days). Currently, the molecular processes underlying physiological maturation of the mycelium remain unclear. We performed a comparative transcriptomic analysis of immature and mature mycelia using RNA-seq. De novo transcriptome assembly resulted in identification of 17,030 unigenes. 451 differentially expressed genes, including those encoding nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK), glycoside hydrolase family proteins, exopolygalacturonase, and versatile peroxidases, were identified. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that nucleotide synthesis and energy metabolism are highly active during the physiological maturation of mycelia, and genes related to these pathways were significantly up-regulated in mature mycelia. NDPK is predicted to be essential for mycelia maturation. Our findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of mycelia maturation in a commercially important fungal species. Future efforts will focus on the function of NDPK and the mechanism by which it regulates mycelia maturation.
