The invention relates to the field of molecular biology as well as to the field of breeding methods for mushrooms, in particular cultivatable mushrooms. In particular the invention relates to the use of diagnostic methods derived from the field of molecular biology to be applied in breeding programmes that select mushrooms on genetic traits that improve their commercial value. The invention provides methods localising, identifying or marking genes or alleles or genetic trait loci, in particular but not restricted to those corresponding to a mushroom gene related to spore production, in samples such as but not limited to mycelium, spores or fruit bodies of mushrooms, by allowing for specific hybridisation with or amplification of genomic fragments of those genes or alleles or genetic trait loci of mushrooms. |
