Using agroinfection with a T-DNA vector carrying a hygromycin resistance marker, the recombinants were generated for the first time from the ectomycorrhizal basidiomycete Tricholoma matsutake, which produces commercially valuable fruit bodies, matsutake, during association with Pinus sp. plants. The transformation system may be useful in the genetic analysis of T. matsutake.
