However, the genetic regulation of sporulation in this fungus remains unknown. Here, samples corresponding to the abaxial side of the pileus were collected from strain YW-1 at three sequential developmental stages and were then subjected to a transcriptome assay. We identified 1598 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and found that the genes related to carbohydrate metabolism were strongly expressed during spore morphogenesis. In particular, genes involved in trehalose and malate synthesis were upregulated, implying the accumulation of specific carbohydrates in mature G. lucidum spores. Furthermore, the expression of genes involved in triterpenoid and ergosterol biosynthesis was high in the young fruiting body but gradually decreased with sporulation. Finally, spore development-related regulatory pathways were explored by analyzing the DNA binding motifs of 24 transcription factors that are considered to participate in the control of sporulation. Our results provide a dataset of dynamic gene expression during sporulation in G. lucidum. They also shed light on genes potentially involved in transcriptional regulation of the meiotic process, metabolism pathways in energy provision, and ganoderic acids and ergosterol biosynthesis.The use of functionalized dental adhesives that might prevent degradation of the dentin hybrid layer has been proposed. The aim of the study was to characterize the physicochemical properties and the potential to induce mineral precipitation of methacrylate-based resins containing methacryl-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (MA-POSS-8). In total, six different compositions of resins based on bisphenol A glycerolate dimethacrylate (BisGMA, 40 to 60 wt.%), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA, 5 to 35 wt.%) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (
