mRNA-seq and miRNA-seq profiling analyses reveal molecular mechanisms regulating induction of fruiting bodies in Ophiocordyceps Sinensis [miRNA-seq dataset]
Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Berk.) Sacc., a complex of larval carcass (sclerotium) and stroma formed by the fungus of Hirsutella sinensis infecting Hepialidae insect larvae, whose fruiting body is also the main fungal structure used for taxonomic identification. However, the induction of fruiting body is still inefficient and the high cost resulting in the large-scale artificial cultivation of this fungus has been unsuccessful in China.In this study,important factors and target genes associated with the fruiting body induction during the development of O. sinensis were identified, providing a basic molecular mechanism for facilitating the large-scale artificial cultivation of O. sinensis. Overall design: sRNA profiles of the mycoparasite complex (MC), the sclerotium (ST) and the whole O. Sinensis with fruiting body (FB) stages.
