As the widest cultivated edible mushroom worldwide, Lentinula edodes suffers serious yield and quality losses from heat stress during growth and development, and in our previous study, exogenous 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) was found to improve the thermotolerance of L. edodes strain YS3357, but the molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here, we explored the potential protective mechanism of exogenous 2,4-D against heat stress by transcriptome analysis. 2,4-D possible improve the thermotolerance of L. edodes through regulating antioxidant genes, transcription factors, energy-provision system, membrane fluidity, and cell wall remodeling. Furthermore, 2,4-D was also found to regulate the saturation levels of fatty acids and ATP content in L. edodes mycelium under heat stress. This study proposed a regulatory network of 2,4-D in regulating L. edodes response to heat stress, providing a theoretical basis for improving L. edodes thermotolerance, and facilitating the understanding of the molecular mechanism of exogenous hormones in alleviating abiotic stress damage to macrofungi. |
