Abstract: | Summary DNA from the cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, was cloned into the bacteriophage lambda vector EMBL3 creating a partial genomic library. Ten random clones from the library were used to probe for restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Six of the ten probes detected polymorphisms and were used to demonstrate variation in wild and cultivated strains of the mushroom. These results suggest that RFLPs could form a basis for genetic finger-printing and subsequent strain protection in A. bisporus. In single spore progeny, RFLPs were used to demonstrate normal meiotic segregation and to differentiate between homokaryons and heterokaryons. RFLPs therefore have great potential in the development of the genetics and breeding of this commercially important species. |
