The quality properties of bread with Lentinula edodes powder were investigated to find the most adequate ratio of the Lentinula edodes powder. The protein and crude fat were increased in proportion to the added quantity of Lentinula edodes powder. The amount of ash was found the most in the bread with 1% Lentinula edodes powder. It was confirmed that the volume of bread with Lentinula edodes powder decreased as the amount of the Lentinula edodes powder increased. The brightness was the highest in the control and was inversely proportional to the added amount of Lentinula edodes powder. The yellowness and redness of the dough were proportional to the added amount of Lentinula edodes powder. Total amino acids and free amino acids were found. The dough with 3% Lentinula edodes powder contained the highest amounts of both, followed by 2%, and 1%. When evaluating the length of storage, the bread's springiness and cohesiveness decreased. Regarding the taste, preference was given to the bread with 2% Lentinula edodes powder, which had the lowest value of bad odors and odd texture in the sensory test.

Antioxidant activities of 80% methanol, water, and 70% ethanol extracts of Lentinula edodes GNA01 were compared and estimated. The yield of Lentinula edodes GNA01 was identified to be in the following order: water>70% ethanol>80% methanol, but there was no significant difference between 80% methanol and 70% ethanol extracts. The highest total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were found in water extract, and TPC of 80% methanol extract was higher than that of 70% ethanol extract and TFC of 70% ethanol extract was higher than that of 80% methanol extract. Water extract exhibited the strongest DPPH, ABTS radicals, and nitrite scavenging activities, $Fe^{2+}$ chelating ability, and FRAP among the three extracts. In addition, antioxidant activity of 80% methanol extract was higher than that of 70% ethanol extract in most of the experiments. As a result, antioxidant activity of Lentinula edodes GNA01 showed a difference according to extraction solvent and concentration; nevertheless, water extract exhibiting high polarity had the strongest antioxidant effect. Consequently, water extract from Lentinula edodes GNA01 is anticipated to be useful for the development of a high value-added functional product.

Three nucleotides, one amide, acid and steroid, were isolated from the fruit bodies of Lentinula edodes. The structures were determined as adenosine (9-𝛽-D-ribofuranosyladenine), uridine (1-𝛽-D-ribofuranosyluracil), uracil (2, 4-pyrimidinedione), nicotinamide, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and ergosterol (ergosta-5, 7, 22-triene-3𝛽-ol), respectively, on the basis of spectroscopic data and chemical correlations.

In this study, we analyzed the nutrient composition and ${\beta}$-glucan content in Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies from different collection areas. Four types of free sugars were detected by HPLC, and the range of trehalose prevalence was 0.83% to 9%. The highest total amino acid content was observed from sawdust media cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies, collected in China (JMI10050)The highest essential amino acid content, assessed by log cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies, collected in Jangheung (JMI10059). Sixteen free amino acids were detected in Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies, and the major free amino acids were histidine, glutamic acid, and arginine. The highest essential amino acid including threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, histidine, and lysine was fromsawdust media cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies collected in China(JMI10052). The ${\beta}$-glucan content from log cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies collected in Korea (JMI10059 and JMI10066) was higher than that from sawdust media cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies collected in China. The highest ${\beta}$-glucan content was observed from log cultivation of Lentinula edodes fruiting bodies collected in Korea (JMI10066).

Up to date several mycoviruses including Lentinula edodes Spherical Virus (LeSV) have been reported. As fungal virus was spreaded by infested hypae and spores it could be important to use virus-free spawns to eradicate the mushroom virus disease in the culture farm. We tested the imported spawns of Lentinula edodes by PCR whether LeSV was infested them or not. The primer set targeting the RdRp gene of LeSV was prepared based on partial sequence of the LeSV genome. The RT-PCR analysis showed that 87 among 88 imported spawns of L. edodes were infested by LeSV.

For the purpose of protecting the rights of Lentinula edodes breeders, we developed a new simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker set consisting only of genetically independent tetranucleotide or longer core motifs. Using available genome sequences for five L. edodes strains, we designed primers for 13 SSR markers that amplified polymorphic sequences in 20 L. edodes cultivars. We evaluated the independence of every possible marker pair based on genotype data. Consequently, eight genetically independent markers were selected. The polymorphic information content values of the markers ranged from 0.269 to 0.764, with an average of 0.409. The markers could distinguish among 20 L. edodes cultivars and produced highly repeatable and reproducible results. The markers developed in this study will enable the precise identification of L. edodes cultivars, and may be useful for protecting breeders' rights.

The Isozyme activities of Lentinula edodes were studied as a preliminary study for genetic analysis after protoplast fusion. The presence of peroxidase, esterase, superoxide dismutase, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, alcohol dehydrogenase and ${\alpha}-amylase$ was examined. An intracellular buffer-soluble protein from the mycelia was used for enzyme analysis on nondenaturing polyacrylamide gels. The auxotrophs of Lentinula edodes were positive for peroxidase, esterase, superoxide dismutase and acid phosphatase. However, alkaline phosphatase, alcohol dehydrogenase and ${\alpha}-amylase$ were not detected. The esterase and peroxidase were not affected by the various culture age. Isozyme identification may be a useful tool after protoplast fusion.

Protoplast fusion between isoleucine-, argihine- and thymidine-requiring auxotroph $(Ile^{-}, Arg^{-}, Thy^{-})$ of Lentinula edodes and arginine-requiring auxotroph $(Arg^-)$ of Coriolus versicolor has been achieved using 30% polyethylene glycol (M.W.4000) in 10 mM $CaCl_2$-glycine solution (pH 8.0). Fusion hybrids were selected in the 0.6 M sucrose supplemented minimal media on the basis of nutritional complementation with fusion frequency of $7.4{\times}10{-6}$ The hybrids included both parental and non-parental types in colony morphology, growth rate and isozyme patterns. We succeeded inter-order protoplast fusion between the auxotrophs of Lentinula edodes and Coriolus versicolor overcoming the natural barriers of incompatibility. We examined the characteristics of the hybrids and clarified the fusion rocess using electron microscopy.

The new cultivar Lentinula edodes, which is named 'Lentinula edodes GNA01', was bred by mating strains isolated from 'L26' and 'Kyoungwon9015' obtained from Sammyungjin Research Institute, Fujian, China. L. edodes GNA01 does not have stipes like L. edodes, although it generally has a similar spherical shape. Moisture and crude protein contents of L. edodes GNA01 were lower than those of L. edodes. Meanwhile, L. edodes GNA01 contained higher levels of crude ash, crude lipid, crude fiber, and carbohydrates than L. edodes. The ${\beta}$-carotene content ($19.05{\mu}g/100g$) of L. edodes GNA01 was about three times higher than that of L. edodes. In addition, vitamin D content ($118.53{\mu}g/100g$) of L. edodes GNA01 was more than twice that of L. edodes. L. edodes GNA01 was a good source of mineral elements, with K and Mg contents of 2,277.50 mg/100 g and 203.15 mg/100 g, respectively. The major fatty acids of L. edodes GNA01 were C16:0 and C18:2, and L. edodes GNA01 had the highest linoleic acid (C18:2) content of 1,087.66 mg/100 g. Total phenol content of L. edodes GNA01 was 12.52 mg GAE/g, and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) values of L. edodes GNA01 were lower than those of L. edodes at all concentrations. However, DPPH radical scavenging activities and FRAP values of L. edodes GNA01 were above 80% and 0.9 at a concentration of 10 mg/mL, respectively.
