Project description:Hypsizygus marmoreus is one of the most popular industrialized cultivation mushrooms in East Asia, including China, Korea and Japan. It draws our attention due to its desirable, mildly sweet nutty flavor, unique texture and medicinal properties. As a result, the number of H. marmoreus cultivation factories increased gradually in different regions of the world, especially in China. H. marmoreus is the third wildly cultivated industrialized cultivated mushroom in China now. However, its development process is still not very clear. In this study, we use proteomics analysis to investigate the mechanism involved in development of Hypsizygus marmoreus.
Project description:Hypsizygus marmoreus is one of the most popular industrialized cultivation mushrooms in East Asia. H. marmoreus is the third wildly cultivated industrialized cultivated mushroom in China now behind only Flammulina velutipes and Pleurotus eryngii. H. marmoreus is a low-temperature fruiting mushroom. The mycelia grow vegetatively at 23 °C to 25 °C and transform into fruiting process at 13 °C to 17 °C. The fruiting process of H. marmoreus is sensitive to temperature, and high temperature can lead to the death of mycelia and malformation of the fruiting body. Therefore, thermotolerance is important for H. marmoreus during both vegetative growth and fruiting-body formation. Previous studies on H. marmoreus have mainly focused on cultivation, nutrition and bioactive compounds extracted, but little is known about thermotolerance. The aim of this project is to elucidate the thermotolerance mechanism of Hypsizygus marmoreus.
