Integrated Transcriptomic and Proteomic Analyses Reveal Molecular Mechanism of Response to Heat Shock in <i>Morchella sextelata</i> by Jiexiong Zhang, Yanxia Li, Yifan Mao, Yesheng Zhang, Botong Zhou, Wei Liu, Wen Wang, Chen Zhang

“…Both strains displayed a capacity to maintain cellular homeostasis in response to heat shock through highly expressed cell wall integrity (CWI) pathways, heat shock proteins (HSPs), and antioxidant systems. However, strain D, which exhibited stronger thermotolerance, specifically upregulated the ubiquitin ligase <i>Rsp5</i>, thereby further promoting the expression of HSPs, which may be a key factor influencing the thermotolerance difference among <i>M. sextelata</i> strains. …”
