Abstract
Pleurotus ostreatus is a typical tetrapolar heterologous edible mushroom, and its growth and development regulatory mechanism has become a research hotspot in recent years. The MAC1 protein is a transcription factor that perceives copper and can regulate the expression of multiple genes, thereby affecting the growth and development of organisms. However, its function in edible mushrooms is still unknown. In this study, two transcription factor genes, PoMCA1a and PoMAC1b, were identified. Afterwards, PoMAC1 overexpression (OE) and RNA interference (RNAi) strains were constructed to further explore gene function. The results showed that the PoMAC1 mutation had no significant effect on the growth rate of mycelia. Further research has shown that OE-PoMAC1a strains and RNAi-PoMAC1b strains exhibit strong tolerance under 32 °C heat stress. However, under 40 °C heat stress, the OE of PoMAC1a and PoMAC1b promoted the recovery of mycelial growth after heat stress. Second, the OE of PoMAC1a can promote the rapid formation of primordia and shorten the cultivation cycle. In summary, this study indicated that there are functional differences between PoMAC1a and PoMAC1b under different heat stresses during the vegetative growth stage, and PoMAC1a has a positive regulatory effect on the formation of primordia during the reproductive growth stage.

Abstract
Temperature plays an impactful role in mushroom cultivation. To obtain insights of transcriptomic response in macrofungi against heat stress, we performed RNA-seq analysis using Pleurotus tuoliensis mycelium cells that were treated under 32 °C and 36 °C for consecutive 96 h. By comparing the growth rate data, we found mycelium cells could maintain normal growth rate almost the same as control under 32 °C, yet halted the growths under 36 °C. In total, 2724 differential expressed genes were identified from the three pair-wise comparisons, which were classified to four clusters based on their expression patterns. We also performed gene set enrichment analysis using both GO and KEGG databases, and revealed 48, 113 and 105 enriched GO terms, and 1, 5, and 6 enriched KEGG pathways for three pair-wise comparisons accordingly. In addition, we identified 9 overlapping GO terms and 1 overlapping KEGG pathway shared by the three comparisons. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in cell communication, amino acid metabolic process, intracellular signal transduction and small molecule biosynthesis were identified in two heat stress treatments despite of the stress intensity. However, the expression of two heat shock protein genes (HSP10 and HSP60) were induced by increasing temperature. Our findings also suggested the DEGs associated with cell cycle regulation had various expression patterns under two heat stress conditions possibly due to different functions. Furthermore, 11 DEGs related to ergosterol biosynthesis were identified with similar expression trends, indicating the ergosterol levels and cell membrane composition may have a tight connection to the acquisition of thermotolerance, which warrant further investigations for deeper understanding of molecular mechanisms in fungal stress responses.

Salicylic Acid Treatment Alleviates the Heat Stress Response by Reducing the Intracellular ROS Level and Increasing the Cytosolic Trehalose Content in Pleurotus ostreatus. Microbiol Spectr 2023; 11:e0311322. [PMID: 36507658 PMCID: PMC9927586 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.03113-22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Pleurotus ostreatus is usually cultivated in horticultural facilities that lack environmental control systems and often suffer heat stress (HS). Salicylic acid (SA) is recognized as a plant defense-related hormone. Here, SA treatment (200 μM) induced fungal resistance to HS of P. ostreatus, with decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) content and HSP expression. Further analysis showed that SA treatment in P. ostreatus increased the cytosolic trehalose content and reduced the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. Moreover, H2O2 could restore the MDA content and HSP expression of P. ostreatus treated with SA under HS. In addition, trehalose (25 mM) or CaCl2 (5 mM) treatment induced fungal resistance to HS, and CaCl2 treatment increased the cytosolic trehalose content of P. ostreatus under HS. However, inhibiting Ca2+ levels using Ca2+ inhibitors or mutants reversed the trehalose content induced by SA in P. ostreatus under HS. In addition, inhibiting trehalose biosynthesis using Tps-silenced strains reversed the MDA content and HSP expression of P. ostreatus treated with SA under HS. Taken together, these results indicate that SA treatment alleviates the HS response of P. ostreatus by reducing the intracellular ROS level and increasing the cytosolic trehalose content. IMPORTANCE Heat stress (HS) is a crucial environmental challenge for edible fungi. Salicylic acid (SA), a plant defense-related hormone, plays key roles in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, we found that SA treatment increased the cytosolic trehalose content and induced fungal resistance to HS in P. ostreatus. Further analysis showed that SA can alleviate the HS of P. ostreatus by reducing the intracellular ROS level and increasing the cytosolic trehalose content. Our results help to understand the mechanism underlying the responses of P. ostreatus to HS. In addition, this research provides new insights for the cultivation of P. ostreatus.

Abstract
Five PeAOX genes from Moso bamboo genome were identified. PeAOX1b_2-OE improved tolerance to drought and salinity stress in Arabidopsis, indicating it is involved in positive regulation of abiotic stress response. Mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX), the important respiratory terminal oxidase in organisms, catalyzes the energy wasteful cyanide (CN)-resistant respiration, which can improve abiotic stresses tolerance and is considered as one of the functional markers for plant resistance breeding. Here, a total of five putative AOX genes (PeAOXs) were identified and characterized in a monocotyledonous woody grass Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that PeAOXs belonged to AOX1 subfamily, and were named PeAOX1a_1, PeAOX1a_2, PeAOX1b_1, PeAOX1b_2 and PeAOX1c, respectively. Evolutionary and divergence patterns analysis revealed that the PeAOX, OsAOX, and BdAOX families experienced positive purifying selection and may have undergone a large-scale duplication event roughly 1.35-155.90 million years ago. Additionally, the organ-specific expression analysis showed that 80% of PeAOX members were mainly expressed in leaf. Promoter sequence analysis of PeAOXs revealed cis-acting regulatory elements (CAREs) responding to abiotic stress. Most PeAOX genes were significantly upregulated after methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and abscisic acid (ABA) treatment. Moreover, under salinity and drought stresses, the ectopic overexpression of PeAOX1b_2 in Arabidopsis enhanced seed germination and seedling establishment, increased the total respiratory rate and the proportion of AOX respiratory pathway in leaf, and enhanced antioxidant ability, suggesting that PeAOX1b_2 is crucial for abiotic stress resistance in Moso bamboo.

Mnsod1 promotes the development of Pleurotus ostreatus and enhances the tolerance of mycelia to heat stress. Microb Cell Fact 2022; 21:155. [PMID: 35934720 PMCID: PMC9358896 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-022-01878-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Superoxide dismutases (SODs, EC 1.15.1.1) are defense proteins that can be used as sweepers to clear reactive oxygen species (ROS). They have been widely studied in the plant. Intensive research demonstrates that SOD plays an essential role in plants. However, in Pleurotus ostreatus, the function and regulatory pathway of SOD in the growth and development and the abiotic stress response have not been clear. Results In this study, three MnSOD-encoding genes of the P. ostreatus CCMSSC00389 strain were cloned and identified. Mnsod1, Mnsod2, and Mnsod3 were interrupted by 3, 7, and 2 introns, and encoded proteins of 204, 220, and 344 amino acids, respectively. By comparing the relative expression of three MnSOD-encoding genes in mycelia, the results showed that the gene with the highest primary expression was Mnsod1. Subsequently, the function of P. ostreatus Mnsod1 was explored by overexpression (OE) and RNA interference (RNAi). The results showed that during the growth and development of P. ostreatus, MnSOD1 protein increased gradually from mycelia to the fruiting body, but decreased in spores. The change of Mnsod1 transcription level was not consistent with the changing trend of MnSOD1 protein. Further studies showed that during primordia formation, the expression of Mnsod1 gradually increased, reaching a peak at 48 h, and the transcription level was 2.05-folds compared to control. H2O2 content progressively accumulated during the formation of primordia, and its change trend was similar to that of Mnsod1 transcription. OE-Mnsod1-1 and OE-Mnsod1-21 strains accelerated the formation of primordia. The results suggested that Mnsod1 may participate in the formation rate of P. ostreatus primordium by regulating the signal molecule H2O2. In addition, OE-Mnsod1-1 and OE-Mnsod1-21 strains shortened the mycelial recovery time after heat stress and improved the tolerance of the strains to 2.5 mM and 5 mM H2O2, which showed that Mnsod1 was involved in the response of P. ostreatus mycelium to heat stress. Conclusions This study indicates that Mnsod1 plays an active role in the formation of P. ostreatus primordia and the response to abiotic stress.

Abstract
Pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq.) P. Kumm is cultivated worldwide, and its growth is seriously threatened by heat stress. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis to investigate the influence of the phytohormone salicylic acid (SA) in P. ostreatus under HS. The results showed that the hyphal growth recovery rate and the antioxidant capacity of P. ostreatus increased with exogenous SA application (0.01 mmol/L and 0.05 mmol/L) after HS treatment. Metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses showed that SA application (0.05 mmol/L) weakened central carbon metabolism to allow cells to survive HS efficiently. In addition, SA shifted glycolysis to one-carbon metabolism to produce ROS scavengers (GSH and NADPH) and reduced ROS production by altering mitochondrial metabolism. SA also maintained nucleotide homeostasis, led to membrane lipid remodeling, activated the MAPK pathway, and promoted the synthesis of cell-wall components. This study provides a reference for further study of SA in microorganisms.

Abstract
Oyster mushrooms have a high biological efficiency and are easy to cultivate, which is why they are produced all over the world. Cap color is an important commercial trait for oyster mushrooms. Little is known about the genetic mechanism of the cap color trait in oyster mushrooms, which limits molecular breeding for the improvement of cap color-type cultivars. In this study, a 0.8-Mb major quantitative trait locus (QTL) region controlling cap color in the oyster mushroom Pleurotus cornucopiae was mapped on chromosome 7 through bulked-segregant analysis sequencing (BSA-seq) and extreme-phenotype genome-wide association studies (XP-GWAS). Candidate genes were further selected by comparative transcriptome analysis, and a tyrosinase gene (PcTYR) was identified as the highest-confidence candidate gene. Overexpression of PcTYR resulted in a significantly darker cap color, while the cap color of RNA interference (RNAi) strains for this gene was significantly lighter than that of the wild-type (WT) strains, suggesting that PcTYR plays an essential role in cap color formation. This is the first report about fine mapping and functional verification of a gene controlling cap color in oyster mushrooms. This will enhance our understanding of the genetic basis for cap color formation in oyster mushrooms and will facilitate molecular breeding for cap color. IMPORTANCE Oyster mushrooms are widely cultivated and consumed over the world for their easy cultivation and high biological efficiency (mushroom fresh weight/substrate dry weight × 100%). Fruiting bodies with dark caps are more and more popular according to consumer preferences, but dark varieties are rarely seen on the market. Little is known about the genetic mechanism of the cap color trait in oyster mushrooms, which limits molecular breeding for the improvement of cap color-type cultivars. A major QTL of cap color in oyster mushroom P. cornucopiae was fine mapped by using bulked-segregant analysis (BSA) and extreme-phenotype genome-wide association study (XP-GWAS) analysis. A candidate gene PcTYR coding tyrosinase was further identified with the help of comparative transcriptome analysis. qPCR analysis and genetic transformation tests proved that PcTYR played an essential role in cap color formation. This study will contribute to revealing the genetic mechanism of cap color formation in mushrooms, thereby facilitating molecular breeding for cap color trait.

Abstract
To alleviate the risk of textile effluent, the development of highly effective bioremediation strategies for synthetic dye removal is needed. Herein, we aimed to assess whether intensified bioactivity of Bacillus pumilus ZB1 by oxidative stress could improve the removal of textile dyes. Methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) induced oxidative stress significantly promoted laccase expression of B. pumilus ZB1. Both the level of hydrogen dioxide and superoxide anion showed a significant positive correlation with laccase activity (RSQ = 0.963 and 0.916, respectively) along with the change of MMS concentration. The regulation of laccase expression was closely related to oxidative stress. The overexpressed laccase in the supernatant improved the decolorization of synthetic dyes (16.43% for Congo Red, 54.05% for Crystal Violet, and 41.61% for Reactive Blue 4). Laccase was subsequently expressed in E. coli. Investigation of the potential of bacterial laccase in dye remediation using Congo Red showed that an effective degradation of azo dye could be achieved with laccase treatment. Laccase remediation alleviated the cytotoxicity of Congo Red to human hepatocytes. In silico study identified eight amino acid residues of laccase involved in binding with Congo Red. Overall, regulation of oxidative stress towards bacterium can be used as a promising approach for the improvement of bacterial bioactivity in synthetic dye remediation.

Abstract
Temperature is one of the key factors that affects the growth and development of macrofungi. Heat stress not only negatively affects the morphology and growth rate of macrofungi, but also destroys cell structures and influences cell metabolism. Due to loosed structure of cell walls and increased membrane fluidity, which caused by heat stress, the outflow of intracellular nutrients makes macrofungi more vulnerable to invasion by pathogens. Macrofungi accumulate reactive oxygen species (ROS), Ca2+, and nitric oxide (NO) when heat-stressed, which transmit and amplify the heat stimulation signal through intracellular signal transduction pathways. Through regulation of some transcription factors including heat response factors (HSFs), POZCP26 and MYB, macrofungi respond to heat stress by different mechanisms. In this paper, we present mechanisms used by macrofungi to adapt and survive under heat stress conditions, including antioxidant defense systems that eliminate the excess ROS, increase in trehalose levels that prevent enzymes and proteins deformation, and stabilize cell structures and heat shock proteins (HSPs) that repair damaged proteins and synthesis of auxins, which increase the activity of antioxidant enzymes. All of these help macrofungi resist and adapt to heat stress. KEY POINTS: • The effects of heat stress on macrofungal growth and development were described. • The respond mechanisms to heat stress in macrofungi were summarized. • The further research directions of heat stress in macrofungi were discussed.

Abstract
Background In China, during the cultivation process of Pleurotus ostreatus, the yield and quality of fruiting bodies are easily affected by high temperatures in summer. Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important regulatory role in the response to abiotic stress, and previous studies have found that NO can induce alternative oxidase (aox) experssion in response to heat stress (HS) by regulating aconitase. However, the regulatory pathway of NO is complex, and the function and regulation of the aox gene in the response to HS remain unclear. Results In this study, we found that NO affected nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels, reduced hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and superoxide anion (O2−) contents, and slowed O2− production. Further RNA-Seq results showed that NO regulated the oxidation-reduction process and oxidoreductase activity, affected the cellular respiration pathway and activated aox gene expression. The function of aox was determined by constructing overexpression (OE) and RNA interference (RNAi) strains. The results showed that the OE-aox strains exhibited obviously improved growth recovery after exposure to HS. During exposure to HS, the OE-aox strains exhibited reduced levels of NADH, the product of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, and decreased synthesis of ATP, which reduced the production and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), whereas the RNAi-aox strains exhibited the opposite result. In addition, aox mediated the expression of antioxidant enzyme genes in the mycelia of P. ostreatus under HS through the retrograde signaling pathway. Conclusions This study shows that the expression of the aox gene in P. ostreatus mycelia can be induced by NO under HS, that it regulates the TCA cycle and cell respiration to reduce the production of ROS, and that it can mediate the retrograde signaling pathway involved in the mycelial response to HS.

Li S, Yang W, Guo J, Li X, Lin J, Zhu X. Changes in photosynthesis and respiratory metabolism of maize seedlings growing under low temperature stress may be regulated by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY : PPB 2020; 154:1-10. [PMID: 32505784 DOI: 10.1016/j.plaphy.2020.05.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2020] [Revised: 05/17/2020] [Accepted: 05/21/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi as an important soil microbe have been demonstrated to mitigate the harmful effects of stress on plants. However, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the AM symbiotic response to low temperature. Here, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the maize seedlings were identified after inoculating AMF under low temperature conditions. A total of 10,400 DEGs were obtained among four treatments, including non-inoculated AMF under ambient temperature (NMA), inoculated AMF under ambient temperature (MA), non-inoculated with low temperature stress (NML), and inoculated with low temperature stress (ML). The relative expression of 858 genes increased and that of 497 genes decreased in AM plants under low temperature stress. 24 DEGs were identified related to photosynthesis and respiratory metabolism. Among these DEGs, 10 genes were upregulated, and 14 genes were downregulated. The results show that inoculating AMF might decrease the production and transmission of electrons under low temperature, and the cyclic electron flow process in chloroplasts was stimulated to protect plants against low temperature. The fungi also influenced transmission of electrons and production of phosphoric acid in mitochondria in response to low temperature. CO2 assimilation capacity was affected and the tricarboxylic acid cycle was promoted by the adjustments in the glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, gamma-aminobutyric acid shunt pathway, and glyoxylic acid cycle to produce more adenosine triphosphate and raw materials for other metabolic pathways under low temperature. These findings provide new insight into low temperature tolerance induced by AMF, and help identify genes for further investigation and functional analyses.
