This project focuses on developing sporeless strains of industrial oyster mushrooms using CRISPR technology to target specific fungal genes. The goal is to create high-quality, commercially viable mushroom varieties without unwanted traits, providing a cost-effective solution for mushroom producers worldwide.
In our previous ERC project we identified a broad panel of fungal genes that are associated with spore formation, one of the largest problems in industry-scale crop mushroom production.
The mushroom market intensely seeks sporeless strains, however, existing ones are used by a small fraction of growers, because, in addition to sporelessness, they show unwanted morphological defects, which reduce crop quality.
In preliminary experiments, we demonstrated that CRISPR-based targeting of novel genes…
