A Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Physiological Maturation Properties of Mycelia in Pleurotus tuoliensis.

ABSTRACT: 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.
