Abstract
Light affects the morphology and physiology of Pleurotus ostreatus. However, the underlying molecular mechanism of this effect remains unclear. In this study, a label-free comparative proteomic analysis was conducted to investigate the global protein expression profile of the mycelia and fruiting bodies of P. ostreatus PH11 growing under four different light quality treatments. Among all the 2234 P. ostreatus proteins, 1349 were quantifiable under all tested conditions. A total of 1100 differentially expressed proteins were identified by comparing the light group data with those of the darkness group. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses indicated that the oxidative phosphorylation, proteasome, and mRNA surveillance pathways were the most related pathways under the light condition. qRT-PCR verified that the expression of the white collar 1 protein was significantly enhanced under white light. Additionally, glutamine synthetase and aldehyde dehydrogenase played important roles during light exposure. This study provides valuable insight into the P. ostreatus light response mechanism, which will lay the foundation for improved cultivation.
