Transcriptomic insights into common defense mechanisms of Pleurotus ostreatus, Agaricus bisporus, and Lentinula edodes against Pseudomonas tolaasii-induced browning (opens in new tab)

This study investigated gene expression patterns associated with the browning of mushroom fruiting bodies caused by Pseudomonas tolaasii infection. To address this, Pleurotus ostreatus, Agaricus bisporus, and Lentinula edodes were inoculated with P. tolaasii, and morphological changes were examined, followed by transcriptome analysis to identify common and differentially expressed genes across the three species. Hydrophobin and glycoside hydrolase family 13 genes, associated with α-glucan met...
