| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Cordyceps is an ascomycete that is parasitic on lepidopteran insects and its fruit body is useful as a traditional Chinese medicine, but its molecular mechanism of infection and fruit body formation has many unclear points. It was revealed that a part of the MAT chromosome underwent recombination with other chromosomes in C. militaris, suggesting that the chromosome is unstable. In addition, it was revealed that the expression levels of gene clusters involved in cordycepin production differ between mating types. In addition, we succeeded in isolation of compounds showing toxicity against cancer cells.
Thus, in this study, we improved genome information useful for elucidation of biological phenomena such as infestation of C. militaris and the formation of fruiting bodies, and succeeded in isolation of functional substances.
