SNP-Based Genetic Linkage Map and Quantitative Trait Locus Mapping Associated with the Agronomically Important Traits of .

White strains of are more difficult to cultivate than are brown strains; therefore, new white strain breeding strategies are required. Accordingly, we constructed the genetic map of with 1996 SNP markers on 11 linkage groups (LGs) spanning 1380.49 cM.

Generation of Iron-Independent Siderophore-Producing through the Constitutive Expression of .

secretes siderophore to uptake environmental iron. Siderophore secretion in was enabled only in the iron-free minimal medium due to iron repression of , a transcriptional activator of siderophore biosynthetic genes. Aiming to produce siderophore using conventional iron-containing complex media, we constructed a recombinant strain of that escapes gene repression.
