iTRAQ-Based Quantitative Proteomic Analysis Reveals Proteomic Changes in Mycelium of Pleurotus ostreatus in Response to Heat Stress and Subsequent Recovery

mycolabadmin

This study examined how oyster mushrooms respond to high temperatures using advanced protein analysis techniques. Researchers found that when mushroom mycelium was exposed to 40°C heat, it damaged cell membranes and changed the levels of hundreds of proteins. However, when the temperature returned to normal, the mushrooms could repair the damage and recover. Key proteins including heat shock proteins and stress-response enzymes played important roles in protecting the mushroom cells and helping them survive heat stress.

Integrated Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analyses Reveal Molecular Mechanism of Response to Heat Shock in Morchella sextelata

mycolabadmin

Morels are delicious edible mushrooms, but growing them is challenging when temperatures get too high. Scientists studied two morel strains to understand how they respond to heat stress by examining their genes and proteins. They found that heat-tolerant strains activate special protective proteins and metabolic pathways, with one strain particularly good at activating a protein called Rsp5 that helps other protective proteins work better. These findings could help farmers grow better morels even as climate change makes temperatures warmer.

Integration of ATAC-Seq and RNA-Seq Identifies Key Genes in Light-Induced Primordia Formation of Sparassis latifolia

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied how light triggers the formation of mushroom fruiting bodies in Sparassis latifolia using advanced molecular techniques. They identified 30 key genes that become more or less active during this light-induced transformation, particularly those involved in vitamin and amino acid metabolism. The genes identified are associated with pathways that help convert simple fungal threads into the complex mushroom structures we eat. These findings could help improve mushroom cultivation methods and deepen our understanding of how mushrooms develop.
