Abstract Genetic differences among Agaricus blazei
strains were investigated using somatic incompatibility testing,
isozyme analysis, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)
analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), and random amplified polymorphic
DNA (RAPD) analysis. Eight strains, one cultivated strain from Brazil
and seven from Japan, were used in this study. Somatic incompatibility
interactions were observed between the Brazilian cultivated strain and
the Japanese strains. The Brazilian cultivated strain had its own
distinct patterns of esterase isozyme and mtDNA RFLP, but all seven
Japanese cultivated strains showed identical patterns. When the RAPD
patterns, obtained using eight primers, were compared the eight strains
had their own distinct RAPD profiles. Distance values were calculated
between all pairs of the strains based on presence or absence of
individual RAPD bands, and a dendrogram was constructed by unweighted
pair-group method with arithmetic clustering (UPGMA) analysis. Seven
Japanese cultivated strains were grouped to each other, and this group
was finally linked to the Brazilian cultivated strain. Based on these
results, the degree of genetic variation among the A. blazei strains used is discussed.
