Abstract
Macrofungi (or mushrooms) act as an extraordinarily important part to human health due to their nutritional and/or medicinal value, but the detailed researches in growth and development mechanisms have yet to be explored further. Transcription factors (TFs) play indispensable roles in signal transduction and affect growth, development, and metabolism of macrofungi. In recent years, increasing research effort has been employed to probe the relationship between the development of macrofungi and TFs. Herein, the present review comprehensively summarized the functional TFs researched in macrofungi, including modulating mycelial growth, fructification, sclerotial formation, sexual reproduction, spore formation, and secondary metabolism. Meanwhile, the possible effect mechanisms of TFs on the growth and development of some macrofungi were also revealed. Specific examples of functional characterizations of TFs in macrofungi (such as Schizophyllum commune and Coprinopsis cinerea) were described to a better comprehension of regulatory effect. Future research prospects in the field of TFs of macrofungi are discussed. We illustrated the functional versatility of the TFs in macrofungi based on specific examples. A systematical realization of the interaction and possible mechanisms between TFs and macrofungi can supply possible solutions to regulate genetic characteristics, which supply novel insights into the regulation of growth, development and metabolism of macrofungi.
Key points
• The functional TFs researched in macrofungi were summarized.
• The possible effect mechanisms of TFs in macrofungal were described.
• The multiple physiological functions of TFs in macrofungi were discussed.
