内容简介：

This book becomes an invaluable reference on the genetic resources, genome, genes, chemical compounds, and their therapeutic effects for the Lingzhi mushrooms. It is the first comprehensive compilation of genetic resources, nuclear genome, mitochondrial genome, genes, noncoding RNAs, such as long intergenic noncoding RNAs, microRNAs, circular RNAs, genes in the biosynthetic pathway, chemical compounds and their therapeutic effects, transformation system for the expression of key genes, a bibliometric analysis to identify the past research work and the future research direction, and a survey of products derived from the Lingzhi mushrooms.

Each chapter of this book is written by authors of globally reputed experts on the relevant field who had published high-quality articles in the corresponding subject. The book has 12 chapters and each chapter has a length of approximately ten thousand words, including ten items (tables or figures), about 30–50 references. This book isuseful to the students, teachers, and scientists in academia and relevant private companies interested in horticulture, genetics, physiology, molecular genetics, and breeding, in vitro culture and genetic engineering, and structural and functional genomics. This book is also useful to seed and pharmaceutical industries.

全书共分为十二章，包括：灵芝概述、灵芝研究趋势（1936-2019）、灵芝核基因组、灵芝线粒体基因组、灵芝转录组、灵芝蛋白质组、灵芝非编码RNA、灵芝酸生物合成途径与信号传导调控、灵芝遗传转化体系、灵芝化学成分与癌症免疫治疗、灵芝有效性与安全性荟萃分析、灵芝保健食品与药品调查。

该书对灵芝在中国传统文化中的显著地位进行了详细描述，有力地促进了中医药文化在世界范围内的传播。它是首部全面覆盖药用真菌从基因组成到市场应用全链条的英文论著，也是本草基因组学研究及“千种药用植物基因组研究计划（1KMPG）”在药用植物品种水平上的代表性专著。作为一本英文专著，《The Lingzhi Mushroom Genome》将为世界各国科研机构、高等院校、政府部门、医疗健康企业的新药研发、药事管理及市场开拓人员提供重要的参考信息。
