Comparative analysis of fatty acid metabolism based on transcriptome sequencing of wild and cultivated Ophiocordyceps sinensis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ophiocordyceps sinensis is a species endemic to the alpine and high-altitude areas of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. Although O. sinensis has been cultivated since the past few years, whether cultivated O. sinensis can completely replace wild O. sinensis remains to be determined.

Methods

To explore the differences of O. sinensis grown in varied environments, we conducted morphological and transcriptomic comparisons between wild and cultivated samples who with the same genetic background.

Results

The results of morphological anatomy showed that there were significant differences between wild and cultivated O. sinensis, which were caused by different growth environments. Then, a total of 9,360 transcripts were identified
