The Genomic and Transcriptomic Analyses of Floccularia luteovirens, a Rare Edible Fungus in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Provide Insights into the Taxonomy Placement and Fruiting Body Formation.

ABSTRACT: Floccularia luteovirens is a famous and precious edible mushroom (Huang Mogu) on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau that has a unique flavor and remarkable medical functions. Herein, we report a reference-grade 27 Mb genome of F. luteovirens containing 7068 protein-coding genes. The genome component and gene functions were predicted. Genome ontology enrichment and pathway analyses indicated the potential production capacity for terpenoids, polyketides and polysaccharides. Moreover, 16 putative gene clusters and 145 genes coding for secondary metabolites were obtained, including guadinomine and melleolides. In addition, phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses shed light on the precise classification of F. luteovirens suggesting that it belongs to the genus Floccularia</
