Use of molecular markers to differentiate between commercial strains of the button mushroom Agaricus bisporus

Abstract: Agaricus bisporus is an edible basidiomycete cultivated industrially for food production. Different spawn and mushroom producers use genetically related A. bisporus strains frequently marketed as different products. In this paper we show that the use of suitable molecular markers reveals the high level of genetic homology of commercial strains of A. bisporus, and allows, at the same time, to distinguish between them. In the course of this work, a molecular marker potentially linked to the agronomic character '… Show more

“…BSA is an efficient and effective method for identifying markers linked to a specific gene or genomic region (27). Although BSA is widely applied in plants, especially for disease resistance (20,27,57), its application to mushrooms is less well known; the identification of markers linked with mushroom weight in A. bisporus (40), mating type factors in L. edodes (18), and the sporeless trait in P. pulmonarius (38) has been reported. This method will be a useful tool for finding markers closely linked to important agronomic traits in mushroom breeding.…”

“…As a result, mycelium growth can be influenced by a reduction or excess concentration of nutrients, accumulation of toxic products, production of secondary metabolites, and changes in factors such as pH, which consequently can influence the mushroom production (2,14,15).…”

“…If they were hybrids, such high similarity coefficient would suggest that strains No.1, No.56 and No.1023 might be re-isolated from strain U3 by different producers, whereas the genetic differences of them in this work might contribute to the mutation through recombination, disassociation and splitting of DNA during the propagation process. (Loftus et al 1988;Sonnenberg et al 1999;Ramirez et al 2001). Meanwhile, the various cultivation conditions induce the mutation of the hybrids.…”
