Genome-wide identification of PSKR genes in wheat and differential expression under abiotic stress conditions

mycolabadmin

Scientists identified 149 genes related to phytosulfokine receptors (PSKR) in wheat that help plants respond to environmental stresses like drought, salt, cold, and heat. These genes are spread across wheat’s chromosomes and contain regulatory elements that control their expression in response to various stresses and plant hormones. The study provides important genetic resources for developing wheat varieties that are more resistant to environmental stress, which is crucial for maintaining crop productivity in changing climate conditions.

Transcription factor FfMYB15 regulates the expression of cellulase gene FfCEL6B during mycelial growth of Flammulina filiformis

mycolabadmin

This study explores how mushrooms break down cellulose to grow. Researchers found that a protein called FfMYB15 acts as a master switch that turns on the gene for an enzyme (cellulase) needed to digest cellulose in the Flammulina filiformis mushroom. By controlling this enzyme, FfMYB15 helps the mushroom grow faster and more efficiently on cellulose-rich materials used in cultivation.

Analysis of the chitin synthase gene family in Ganoderma lucidum: its structure, phylogeny, and expression patterns

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied eight chitin synthase genes in Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom), which are important for building the fungal cell wall and controlling growth. They found that different genes are active at different stages of mushroom development and that six of these genes become more active when exposed to high temperatures, suggesting they help the mushroom survive heat stress. This research helps us understand how mushrooms grow and develop, which could lead to better cultivation methods.
