Abstract
Auricularia auricula-judae is a traditional edible fungus that
is cultivated widely in China. In this study, a genetic linkage
map for A. auricula-judae was constructed using a mapping
population consisting of 138 monokaryons derived from a
hybrid strain (A119-5). The monokaryotic parent strains
A14-5 and A18-119 were derived from two cultivated varieties,
A14 (Qihei No. 1) and A18 (Qihei No. 2), respectively.
In total, 130 simple sequence repeat markers were mapped.
These markers were developed using the whole genome sequence
of A. auricula-judae and amplified in A14-5, A18-
119, and the mapping population. The map consisted of 11
linkage groups (LGs) spanning 854 cM, with an average interval
length of 6.57 cM. A testcross population was derived
from crossing between the monokaryon A184-57 (from the
wild strain A184 as a tester strain) and the mapping population.
Important agronomic trait-related QTLs, including
mycelium growth rate on potato dextrose agar for the mapping
population, mycelium growth rate on potato dextrose
agar and sawdust for the testcross population, growth period
(days from inoculation to fruiting body harvesting), and yield
for the testcross population, were identified using the composite
interval mapping method. Six mycelium growth raterelated
QTLs were identified on LG1 and LG4, two growth
period-related QTLs were identified on LG2, and three yieldrelated
QTLs were identified on LG2 and LG6. The results
showed no linkage relationship between mycelium growth
rate and growth period. The present study provides a foundation
for locating genes for important agronomic characteristics
in A. auricula-judae in the future.
