Genome-wide association studies revealed association between LePC4 gene and crude protein content in shiitake mushroom, Lentinula edodes.

Abstract excerpt

Lentinula edodes, the most widely cultivated edible mushroom worldwide, is of considerable significance for nutritional health and commercial applications owing to its relatively high crude protein content (CPC). However, the genetic mechanisms underlying the regulation of CPC in edible mushrooms remain poorly understood. In this study, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified twenty single-nucleotide...
