Abstract excerpt
A double-stranded (ds) RNA hairpin-mediated down-regulation system was developed for the cultivated mushroom Agaricus bisporus, and the role of the urea cycle enzyme argininosuccinate lyase (asl) in mushroom post-harvest development was investigated. Hairpin expression vectors were constructed to initiate down-regulation of asl and introduced into A. bisporus by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation....
