URP primers of 20 mer derived from repetitive sequence of rice were used to assess genetic variation of oyster mushroom consisting of 10 cultivars of Pleurotus ostreatus, two cultivars of P. florida and two cultivars of P. sajor-caju which were registered in Korea. URP2F and URP38F primers produced cultivar-specific PCR polymorphic bands in the Pleurotus species. UPGMA cluster analysis using the URP-PCR data showed that 14 Pleurotus cultivars are genetically clustered into large three groups. The URP-PCR data provided important information for more efficient breeding strategies of Pleurotus cultivars.

Twelve URP primers were used to assess genetic characteristics of oyster mushroom including 59 Pleurotsu ostreatus cultivars, two of P. florida cultivars, one P. sajor-caju cultivars, one P. abalonus cultivar and two P. eryngii cultivars registered in Korea. Six URP primers produced PCR polymorphic bands within and between the Pleurotus species. Primer URP2F produced distinct cultivar specific PCR polymorphic bands that profiled to 15 cultivar types. PCR polymorphic bands amplified by URP2F, URP6R, URP4R and URP2R were used for UPGMA cluster analysis. Fifty nine cultivars of Pleurotus ostreatus are genetically clustered into 5 groups, showing genetic similarity over 70% among them and P. abalonus. P. eryngii and P. sajor-caju, were involved in outside groups.

This study was conducted to investigate physiological characteristics of Trichoderma spp. isolated from Pleurotus spp. Damage tests of Pleurotus spp. and mycotoxins tests of Trichoderma spp. were also done. The optimal growth temperature of Trichoderma spp. was $27{\sim}30^{\circ}C$. Although, T. longibrachiatum was able to grow at $37^{\circ}C$ and grew $30{\sim}40$ times faster than Pleurotus. The colony colour on PDA medium of T. cf. virens was yellowish green, T. longibrachiatum was yellow, and T. harzianum was turning to bright green. In damage tests of Pleurotus by Trichoderma, T. cf. virens caused the most severe damage to Pleurotus. T. longibrachiatum and T. harzianum caused less damage on Pleurotus but were able to cause greater damage to P. eryngii. One of the mushroom cultivars, P. ostreatus 8 was the most resistant to all Trichoderma spp.. Chitinolytic mycotoxin released by Trichoderma spp. caused 52.7% damage to Pleurotus. Mycotoxins released by T. longibrachiatum caused the greatest damaged(78.6%) on P. eryngii.

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were isolated from major Pleurotus pulmonarius cultivars in Korea, namely 'HS47' (monokaryon, gamete of 'Santari'), 'GB19' (monokaryon, gamete of 'Santari'), 'Hosan,' 'Yeoleumneutali1,' 'Sambok,' 'Gangsan,' 'Yaksan,' 'Jasan,' 'Hyangsan,' and 'Yeoleumneutali2,' and characterized via HiSeq genome sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. The genome sizes of the monokaryons 'HS47' and 'GB19' were estimated to be 37.3 and 37.2 Mb, respectively, and those of the other dikaryotic cultivars ranged from 47.1 to 61.1 Mb. A total of 711 (smallest) and 1,106 (1.5 times the smallest) SSRs were found in the 'HS47' and 'Gangsan' genomes, respectively. Hexanucleotide and octanucleotide motifs accounted for the top two fractions of all SSRs. CGA/TCG, A/T, and CTC/GAG were the most frequently detected nucleotides in the SSRs. Most of the SSRs were 21~30 nucleotides long (hypervariable for application), accounting for 70% of all lengths of SSRs.

For development of a method for differentiation of Pleurotus eryngii cultivars, simple sequence repeats (SSR) from whole genomic DNA sequence analysis was used for genotyping and two multiplex-SSR primer sets were developed. These SSR primer sets were employed to distinguish 12 cultivars and strains. Five polymorphic markers were selected based on the genotyping results. PCR using each primer produced one to four distinct bands ranging in size from 200 to 300 bp. Polymorphism information content (PIC) values of the five markers were in the range of 0.6627 to 0.6848 with an average of 0.6775. Unweighted pairgroup method with arithmetic mean clustering analysis based on genetic distances using five SSR markers classified 12 cultivars into two clusters. Cluster I and II were comprised of four and eight cultivars, respectively. Two multiplex sets, Multi-1 (SSR312 and SSR366) and Multi-2 (SSR178 and SSR277) completely discriminated 12 cultivars and strains with 21 alleles and a PIC value of 0.9090. These results might be useful in providing an efficient method for the identification of P. eryngii cultivars with separate PCR reactions.

To develop a method for the differentiation of Pleurotus ostratus cultivars, the multiplex-simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer set based on the SSRs obtained from whole genomic DNA sequence analysis was designed with two polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer sets. These SSR primer sets were employed to distinguish 10 cultivars and strains. Twenty polymorphic markers were selected based on the genotyping results. PCR with each primer produced 1-4 distinct bands ranging in size from 150 to 350 bp, which was within the expected range. However, since a sole SSR marker was unable to detect polymorphisms in every cultivar, multiplex PCRs with composite PCR primer sets were employed. The multiplex primer, "166+115," completely discriminated 12 cultivars and strains with 40 loci, which were 12 more than the simple arithmetic addition of each locus of the primers 115 and 166. These results might be useful to provide an efficient method for the differentiation of P. ostreatus cultivars with separate PCRs for the quality control of spawn and protection of breeders' rights.

Genetic relationship analysis by PCR reactions with 25 primers could produce relevant classifications of the 21 P. pulmonarius (Fr) Quel. isolates collected from 2005. They were classified by two groups with similarity coefficient 0.37. All of the P. pulmonarius cultivars belonged to group 2. New cultivar 'Hwasan' presented high similarity coefficient to parental strains, and that of 'Hosan' and 'Kangsan' cultivars was very high owing to shared crossing parents, and that of two strains from China was high, as well.

We developed and characterized 36 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). In total, 169 alleles were identified with an average of 4.7 alleles per locus. Values for observed ($H_o$) and expected ($H_E$) heterozygosities ranged from 0.027 to 0.946 and from 0.027 to 0.810, respectively. Nineteen loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Significant (P<0.05) excess heterozygosity was observed at nine loci. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) was significant (P<0.05) between pairs of locus alleles. Cluster analysis revealed that five species of genus Pleurotus made a distinct group, and the individual cultivars were grouped into major five groups from G-1 to G-5. The diverse cultivars of P. ostreatus were discriminated and the other four species revealed a different section in the UPGMA tree. These microsatellite markers proved to be very useful tools for genetic studies, including assessment of the diversity and population structure of P. ostreatus.

In order to breed a new Pleurotus eryngii cultivar exhibiting intermediate size and rapid growth, single crosses between $24{\times}46$ and KNR2539 were performed. The resulting new cultivar, $17{\times}15$, was chosen based on the required days to harvest (15.4 days), quality (7.5), and yield (81.5 g/850 cc bottle) obtained in a preliminary test. The strain was named Aeryni 6 and cultivated at mushroom farms on a large scale for comparison with the reference cultivar Kenneutari No. 2. The yield of Aeryni 6 (76.0 g) was 113.0% compared with the reference cultivar, Kenneutari No. 2, and its quality was 6.8, while that of the reference strain was 5.7. An independent t-test revealed significant differences between the days for harvest, yield, and quality of the two cultivars. The new and reference cultivars were discriminated by PCR amplification of URP2 and URP11 and a confrontation cultivation.

Pleurotus pulmonarius 8 cultivas, domestically bred, were cultivated and evaluated for cultural properties. The morphological properties of 8 cultivars were big diameter of pileus and short stipe. Stipe was eccentrically combined with pileus. The longest length of stipe was Yeoleumneutali 2ho(72.8mm) while shortest cultivar was Yeoleumneutali 1ho(33.8mm). The diameter of pileus ranged 45.8-62,3mm, Yaksan was the smallest one and Yeoleumneutali 2ho was largest cultivar. Yield was largest in Yeoleumneutali 2ho(80.7g) whereas smallest was in Yeoleumneutali 1ho(35.5g). The highest L value was in Yeoleumneutali 2ho and Hosan. Lightness was not even around pileus but thicker in rim area and thinner in center of pileus. Average period of pinheading and harvest were 4.6 and 8.0 days thus only 3-4 days after pinheadng were required for harvest.
