摘要

An integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis was conducted to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying heat stress response in Pleurotus pulmonarius, a commercially important edible mushroom sensitive to elevated temperatures. Through comparative RNA-seq and UPLC-MS based metabolomics, we identified 4,388 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 1,282 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) in mycelia exposed to 42 °C for 6 h compared with control conditions. Integrated pathway analysis revealed that pyrimidine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, and cysteine/methionine metabolism were coordinately reprogrammed at both transcriptional and metabolic levels, forming a synergistic regulatory network. These pathways collectively provide essential precursors for nucleic acid synthesis, modulate auxin (IAA)-mediated stress signaling, and sustain antioxidant capacity, respectively. Our findings establish a systems-level framework for understanding heat adaptation in P. pulmonarius and highlight key metabolic nodes that may serve as targets for molecular breeding of thermotolerant cultivars.
