Abstract: Aspergillus oryzae,a filamentous fungus,is an important strain in fermentation industry and is often used in the production of soy sauce,Douchi,secondary metabolites and enzyme-like products. In recent years,with the decoding of whole genome sequence of A. oryzae,the functional genomics of A. oryzae has become a hot topic. Due to the immaturity of A. oryzae transformation system and the existence of multinucleation,the research progress of functional genome on A. oryzae is slow. This paper first reviews the genetic transformation strategies of A. oryzae,as well as compares their advantages and disadvantages. Then the paper introduces the research progress of functional genomics of A. oryzae in recent years,mainly including protein secretion,conidia formation and secondary metabolite synthesis of A. oryzae. Finally,the application ofA. oryzae in the production of enzymes and secondary metabolites is prospected.

Key words: Aspergillus Oryzae, functional genomics, conidium, protein secretion, secondary metabolite
