The APSES transcription factors have been identified as key regulators of fungal development and other biological processes in fungi. In the present study, the function ofGanoderma lucidum GlSwi6, a homolog ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae Swi6, was characterized. RNAi was used to examine the function ofGlSwi6inG. lucidum. SilencingGlSwi6resulted in multiple developmental defects, including reduced fungal growth and increased hyphal branching, and theGlSwi6-silenced strains did not exhibit primordium or fruiting body formation. In addition, the H2O2and ganoderic-acid (GA) levels of theGlSwi6-silenced strains decreased approximately 50% and 25%, respectively, compared with those of the WT strain. Furthermore, the addition of H2O2led to the recovery of the GA levels ofGlSwi6-silenced strains, implying thatGlSwi6might regulate GA biosynthesis by regulating the intracellular ROS levels. Taken together, these results indicate thatGlSwi6is involved in fungal growth, development and GA biosynthesis inG. lucidum.
