Expression profiles of DNMtase genes in Pleurotus ostreatus. (A) The schematic diagram for different developmental stages of Pleurotus ostreatus. Mm, Dm, Mp, Cp, Sfp, Ntpp, and Tpp represents monokaryotic mycelium, dikaryotic mycelium, mulberries phase, coral-like phase, sporophor formative phase, not turning pale phase, and turning pale phase, respectively. (B) Expression profiles of DNMtase genes during the development of Pleurotus ostreatus. The expression levels relative to ACTIN were measured by quantitative RT-PCR and displayed in log2 scale. The acronyms from left to the right are representative of Monokaryotic mycelium (Mm), Dicaryotic mycelium (Dm), Mulberries phase (Mp), Coral-like phase (Cp), Fruiting body of formative phase (Fbfp), Stip of formative phase (Sfp), Cap of not turning plae phase (Cntpp), Veil of not turning pale phase (Vntpp), Stip of not turning pale phase (Sntpp), Veil of turning pale phase (Vtpp) that were collected for quantitative RT-PCR analysis. Three biological replicates and three technological replicates were done for each data point. Error bars indicate standard deviations (SDs). Letters indicate significant differences at P < 0.05 according to Duncan's multiple range tests.
