Abstract

Pleurotus ostreatus is a commercially grown mushroom species in China. However, studies on the mechanisms of the fruiting body development and stress response of P. ostreatus are still at a primary stage. In this study, we report the entire genome sequence of P. ostreatus CCMSSC03989. Then, we performed comprehensive genome-wide characterization and expression analysis of the MYB transcription factor family during a series of developmental stages and under the condition of heat stress. A 34.76 Mb genome was obtained through next-generation sequencing (NGS) and Bionano optical mapping approaches. The genome has a scaffold N50 of 1.1 Mb and contains 10.11% repeats, and 10,936 gene models were predicted. A total of 20 MYB genes (PoMYB) were identified across the genome, and the full-length open reading frames were isolated. The PoMYBs were classified into 1 repeat (1R), 2R, and 3R-MYB groups according to their MYB domain repeat numbers, and 3R-MYBs possessed relatively more introns than 1R and 2R-MYBs. Based on phylogenetic analysis, the PoMYBs were divided into four groups and showed close relationships with the MYB genes of plants and fungi. RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) analyses revealed that PoMYB expression showed stage-specific patterns in reproductive stages and could be induced by heat stress. The P. ostreatus draft genome will promote genome-wide analysis, and our study of PoMYBs will promote further functional analysis of MYB genes in mushrooms.

Highlights

  • Pleurotus ostreatus is widely cultivated in China for its delicious taste, nutritional value [1], ease of growth on a variety of organic substrates [2], and tolerance to a wide temperature range during cultivation [3]

  • We report a draft genome sequence of the monokaryotic P. ostreatus strain CCMSSC03989-1 (China Center for Mushroom Spawn Standards and Control, Beijing, China), based on the combination approaches of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and optical maps, and we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of the MYB gene family based on the obtained genome sequence

  • We sequenced the haploid of P. ostreatus strain CCMSSC03989-1 using a whole-genome shotgun and mate-pair sequencing strategy, and the NGS assembly was hybrid-scaffolded by using Bionano optical maps

Summary

Introduction

Pleurotus ostreatus is widely cultivated in China for its delicious taste, nutritional value [1], ease of growth on a variety of organic substrates [2], and tolerance to a wide temperature range during cultivation [3]. Genome sequences are valuable resources for genetic or molecular-based analysis, which is beneficial to the decryption of genetic diversity and genes controlling important agronomic traits [4]. Several commercial strains are used in production at present [9], and they are genetically diverse according to identification by using molecular markers [10]. The genomes of PC15 and CCEF00389 do not sufficiently represent the genetic diversity of P. ostreatus. Genome-wide study of mushrooms has been conducted in a variety of aspects; that is, identifying fruiting body formation-related genes [14], studying the molecular mechanism of lignocellulose degradation [13,15], identifying and characterizing small noncoding RNAs [6], mining microsatellites [16], and so forth
