Abstract:

CRISPR/Cas9 is currently the most successful precise genome editing technology. So far,there have been relevant application reports in at least nine edible and medicinal fungi,including Pleurotus eryngii,Pleurotus ostreatus,Agaricus bisporus,Ganoderma lucidum,Schizophyllum commune,Coprinopsis cinerea,Flammulina velutipes,Cordyceps militaris and Shiraia bambusicola. This article briefly describes the mechanism and delivery strategies of the CRISPR/Cas9 system,and proposes solutions for the application in edible and medicinal fungi. Last but not least,referring to the current frontier development of CRISPR technology,such as multiplex gene editing, base editing, prime editing and transcription regulation, etc., we give certain enlightenment to the future application prospects in the field of edible and medicinal fungi.

Key words: CRISPR/Cas9, edible and medicinal fungi, genome editing, RNP
