Expression of four meiotic genes in both mycelia and gills. In basidiomycetes, meiosis is commonly considered to be restricted to basidia, which are crowdedly arranged as a palisade-like layer on the surface of gills. a The RT-PCR results detected by the high-resolution capillary electrophoresis. The size markers in the RNA ladder on the left are in bp. b Gene expression determined by RT-qPCR using exon-spanning primers. The expression of translational elongation factor 1 alpha (TEF1α) was used as a reference to normalize the data
