Function of Transcription Factors PoMYB12, PoMYB15, and PoMYB20 in Heat Stress and Growth of Pleurotus ostreatus

This research explores how specific genes in oyster mushrooms help them survive and grow better when exposed to heat stress. Scientists created mutant mushroom strains by either increasing or decreasing expression of three genes called PoMYB12, PoMYB15, and PoMYB20. They found that boosting PoMYB12 and PoMYB20 made mushrooms more heat-resistant and grow faster, while reducing PoMYB15 had similar beneficial effects. These discoveries could help farmers grow better oyster mushrooms during hot summer months when heat damage is a major problem.

The VlMYB149-VlHIPP30 Regulatory Module Enhances Grapevine Resistance to Botrytis cinerea by Activating the Antioxidant System and Copper Metabolism

Scientists discovered that two grape proteins working together help grapes resist a common fungal disease called grey mould. When grapes are infected, one protein (VlMYB149) activates a second protein (VlHIPP30) that helps the plant accumulate copper and boost its natural antioxidant defenses. This discovery could help farmers grow disease-resistant grape varieties without relying on chemical fungicides.
