Genome sequence of the button mushroom <i>Agaricus bisporus</i> reveals mechanisms governing adaptation to a humic-rich ecological niche
8 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Agaricus bisporus is the model fungus for the adaptation, persistence, and growth in the humic-rich leaf-litter environment. Aside from its ecological role, A. bisporus has been an important component of the human diet for over 200 y and worldwide cultivation of the "button mushroom" forms a multibillion dollar industry. We present two A. bisporus genomes, their gene repertoires and transcript profiles on compost...
