The autophagy-related gene family members in Lentinula edodes (LeATG family members) were identified based on the whole genome data of L. edodes using homologous alignment methods, and their biological information was analyzed. The expression patterns of these family members during mycelial colouring process were analyzed by combining transcriptome sequencing data and RT-qPCR. The results showed that 29 LeATG family members belonging to 23 classes of autophagy-related genes were identified in the L. edodes genome. Chromosomal localization analysis revealed that they were mainly distributed on chromosomes 4 and 1; no distribution was detected on chromosome 9. The full length of LeATG family members ranges from 595 to 6 772 bp. The length of protein sequence encoded by the LeATG gene ranged from 127 to 1 998 aa, with relative molecular weights of 14.8-219.7 kDa and theoretical isoelectric points of 4.27-9.51. Except for LeATG9, LeATG22, and LeATG27, the other 24 LeATG proteins contained no transmembrane domains. The phylogenetic analysis showed that the 29 LeATG proteins clustered into three evolutionary branches, and proteins of the same class were dispersed across different sub-branches, suggesting significant differences in protein structure. Transcriptome data analysis and RT-qPCR revealed differential expression patterns of LeATG genes before and after mycelial colouring process: 2 LeATG genes were highly expressed before browning, 5 were highly expressed after colouring. It was speculated that these 7 genes might be involved in regulating the mycelial colouring process. This study systematically identified the LeATG gene family in L. edodes, and preliminarily revealed their expression regulation patterns during mycelial colouring process, laying an important foundation for further analysis of the molecular mechanism of the LeATG gene during mycelial colouring process of L. edodes.
