    Mapping the Pleurotus ostreatus genome

    Pleurotus ostreatus is a commercially important edible mushroom commonly known as oyster mushroom which has also important biotechnical applications. Industrial production of P.ostreatus is based on a solid fermentation process in which a limited number of selected strains are used. Optimization of industrial mushroom production depends on improving the culture process and breeding new strains with higher yields and productivities. In a previous study a linkage map of P. ostreatus strain N001 was constructed, which provided a basis for performing an efficient QTL (Quantitative trait loci) analysis based in a population of 80 sibling monokaryons. The map is based on the segregation of RAPD markers, RFLP markers, phenotypic characters and cloned genes. Nevertheless the linkage map is just a first step towards the selection of the appropiate parentals for new breeds. In order to organize and improve the access to the data and information accumulated in the previous works mentioned above, a Microsoft® Excel Linkage Map Matrix (MELMM) was designed and created. On this linkage map matrix we could have an easy and functional view of the P. ostreatus linkage map data, such as, recombination frequencies, genotypes information and degree of similarity between monokaryons that will help us in the design of breeding crosses aimed at improving QTLs of agronomic interest of new commercial strains.

    Genetic breeding of edible mushrooms: from the genome to the production of new varieties of Pleurotus ostreatus
    (Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2006) Pisabarro de Lucas, Gerardo; Peñas Parrila, María Manuela; Pérez Garrido, María Gumersinda; Park, Sang-Kyu; Eizmendi Goicoechea, Arantza; Parada Albarracín, Julián Andrés; Palma Dovis, Leopoldo; Idareta Olagüe, Eneko; Jurado Cabanillas, Javier; Castellón Gadea, Jordi; Ramírez Nasto, Lucía; Producción Agraria; Nekazaritza Ekoizpena
    The breeding of new varieties of industrially cultivated edible mushrooms must proceed in the framework defined by the breeding objectives, the biological characteristics of the material and the legal and cultural constraints imposed to the breeding technology to be used. This last aspect is of the greatest importance in the case of a food that is considered in European countries as high quality and closer to nature than other industrially produced foods. This fact prevents the use of genetic-engineering based technologies for breeding, as the consumers would hardly accept genetically modified mushrooms. Consequently, mushroom breeding should be based on time-consuming processes of classic breeding. Molecular biology, however, can offer to the breeders useful tools for speeding up the selection process, for evaluating the new bred lines and, last but not least, to identify and eventually protect legally the outcome of their breeding programs.
