Hallmarks of Comparative Transcriptome between Rhizomorphs and Hyphae of Armillaria sp. 541 Participating in Fungal Symbiosis with Emphasis on LysM Domains.

ABSTRACT: Armillaria sp. 541, a genus of root-infecting fungi, forms a symbiosis with traditional Chinese medicine Gastrodia elata (Orchid) and Polyporus umbellatus via extensive networks of durable rhizomorphs. It is not clear the hallmarks of comparative transcriptome between the rhizomorphs and hyphae of Armillaria sp. 541. In the present study, transcriptomic analysis of Armillaria sp. 541 identified 475 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between Armillaria rhizomorphs (AR) and hyphae (AH). Of them, 285 genes were upregulated and 190 were downregulated. Bioinformatics analyses and tests demonstrated DEGs involved in oxidoreductase activity and peptidoglycan binding were significantly enriched in this process when rhizomorph formed from hyphae.
