De novo assembly and characterization of the transcriptome of Morchella esculenta growth with selenium supplementation.

ABSTRACT: Although Morchella esculenta (L.) Pers. is an edible and nutritious mushroom with significant selenium (Se)-enriched potential, its biological response to selenium stimuli remains unclear. This study explored the effect of selenium on mushroom growth and the global gene expression profiles of M. esculenta. While 5 µg mL^-1selenite treatment slightly promoted mycelia growth and mushroom yield, 10 µg mL^-1significantly inhibited growth. Based on comparative transcriptome analysis, samples treated with 5 µg mL^-1 and 10 µg mL^-1 of Se contained 16,061 (452 upregulated and 15,609 downregulated) and 14,155 differentially expressed genes (DEGs; 800 upregulated and 13,355 downregulated), respectively. Moreover, DEGs were mainly enriched in the
