Nutriceutical potential of Pleurotus tuber-regium sclerotium

Thermal Analysis of Sclerotium of <i>Pleurotus tuber-regium</i> (osu) for Effective Drying

“…Pleurotus tuber-regium is an edible marcofungi found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world with both the sclerotium and the sporophores being grown for their nutritional and medicinal benefits [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Other species of edible marcofungi have been investigated [6] [7].…”

Genome and Comparative Transcriptome Dissection Provide Insights Into Molecular Mechanisms of Sclerotium Formation in Culinary-Medicinal Mushroom Pleurotus tuber-regium

“…Singer, also known as the tiger milk mushroom, produces sclerotia that also have a variety of edible and medicinal values, including serving as components of pork sausage; agents for thickening and flavoring soups; and remedies for ailments, such as headache, stomach pain, fever, and cold ( Oso, 1977 ; Akobundu and Eluchie, 1992 ; Ohiri, 2018 ). Because of the health-promoting potential, research involving the sclerotia of P. tuber-regium focuses on the nutritive values, bioactive compounds, and clinical potential ( Isikhuemhen et al, 2005 ; Wong and Cheung, 2008 ; Ohiri, 2018 ). However, omics studies to assess the molecular mechanisms underlying sclerotium formation in P. tuber-regium are lacking.…”

Selection and validation of endogenous reference genes for RT-qPCR normalization in different stresses and tissues of the tiger milk mushroom, <i>Pleurotus tuber-regium</i>

“…Pleurotus tuber-regium is of popularity and economic importance due to the nutritional value and bioactive compounds around the world especially in China, Africa, and the United States ( Wong & Cheung, 2008 ; Liu et al, 2018a ). Previous studies have focused on the research of P. tuber-regium reproduction ( Fasidi & Ekuere, 1993 ; Okhuoya & Etugo, 1993 ; Bamigboye, Oloke, & Dames, 2019 ), nutrition ( Oyetayo & Akindahunsi, 2005 ; Ohiri, 2018 ), pharmacological value ( Wu, Lu, Jiang, Li, & Huang, 2014 ; Okolo, Orisakwe, & Siminialayi, 2018 ), and molecular biology ( Huang, Lin, Cheung, & Wu, 2011 ; Liu et al, 2018b ). With the completion of the diploid genome sequencing ( Lam et al, 2018 ) and the construction of Agrobacterium tumefaciens -mediated transformation system ( Liu et al, 2018b ) in P. tuber-regium , there is an increasing attention on the molecular biological research of important functional genes as it provides necessary information about fungal development and metabolite synthesis.…”
