Whole-genome sequencing and analysis of the symbiotic Mycena sp. L02 with Gastrodia Elata

The abundance of CAZymes and low-virulence genes in L02 ensures sufficient nutrient acquisition and may facilitate hyphal penetration of the lignin-rich seed coat of G. elata, thereby enabling successful symbiosis. Additionally, KEGG pathways enriched in the unique gene families of the germinating fungi may contribute to the stimulation of seed germination in G. elata. Overall, this study provides a valuable genomic foundation for screening high-performance germinating fungi and further investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying the symbiosis with G. elata.
