This research examined how an edible mushroom called Bailinggu responds to cold temperatures at the genetic level. The study revealed the complex ways that the mushroom’s cells adapt to cold conditions, which is essential for successful mushroom cultivation. Impact on everyday life: – Helps improve commercial mushroom production methods – Contributes to developing more efficient cultivation techniques – Could lead to reduced energy costs in mushroom farming – Advances understanding of how organisms adapt to cold conditions – May help develop cold-resistant crop varieties
