Integrated Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analyses Reveal Molecular Mechanism of Response to Heat Shock in Morchella sextelata.

ABSTRACT: Morels (Morchella spp.), as one of the rare macroascomycetes that can be cultivated artificially, possess significant economic and scientific values. Morel cultivation is highly sensitive to elevated temperatures; however, the mechanisms of their response to heat shock remain poorly understood. This study integrated transcriptomic and quantitative proteomic analyses of two M. sextelata strains with different thermotolerance (labeled as strains C and D) under normal (18 °C) and high temperature (28 °C) conditions. From over 9300 transcripts and 5000 proteins, both consistency and heterogeneity were found in response to heat shock between the two strains. Both strains displayed a capacity to maintain cellular homeostasis in response to heat shock through highly expressed cell w
