In most organisms, the synthesis of heat shock proteins is a transient physiological change in the cell exposed to supra-optimal temperatures. The physiological response to heat shock is particularly dependent on the cell type and on the capacity of the organisms to respond to environmental alterations. In this study the mycelial growth and synthesis of heat shock proteins of two Pisolithus isolates (RV82 and RS24) and one Paxillus involutus isolate to supra-optimal temperatures was evaluated. Mycelial growth was evaluated under […]
