Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals the Regulation of Growth Activity in <i>Poria cocos</i> Under Different Light Duration Stimulations.

ABSTRACT: Background: Light is an important environmental signal that regulates the growth and metabolism of fungi. This study aims to reveal the molecular regulatory mechanism of different light durations on the growth activity of Poria cocos. Methods: By setting up three groups of light treatment: 0 days (sample 1), 15 days (sample 2), and 30 days (sample 3), and combining transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) with qRT-PCR for verification, the effects of light on the gene expression of Poria cocos (Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf) were systematically analyzed. Results: A total of 4332 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in this study. Among them, the blue light-responsive genes, BLI-3 and BLI-4, were significantly upregulated at the
