For the development of a sporeless strain of P. ostreatus we used sporeless strain ASI 2069. We have recovered both nuclear types of strain ASI 2069 as monokaryons of nh9, nh15, nh26 and nh36 (here after referred to as neohaplonts) by protoplasting the mycelium. Crosses between neohaplonts and SSI’s(single spore isolates) obtained from a sporulating commercial strain ASI 2180. Five excellent strains are selected from 30 bred strains by quality of fruitbodies and spore number. To development of molecular markers linked to sporeless strain of P. ostreatus, we are screened helicase, recombinase(DMC1) and topoisomerase(Spo11) genes related meiosis by PCR and sequencing. Among three genes, Spo11 gene was identified into molecular marker of sporeless from neohaplonts and bred strains of P. ostreatus.
