Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mushrooms have long been used as food and medicinal ingredients and are an excellent model for biological research. However, many mushrooms' basic biology and genetics are poorly understood. Fortunately, with the development of various molecular biology technologies, the biological properties of mushrooms that were not understood until now are gradually being revealed, and the various uses of mushrooms are attracting attention. Recently, Omics-based research on various mushrooms has been actively conducted, and the veil on mushrooms is gradually lifted. Through this, the biological characteristics of mushrooms and their genetic characteristics are being revealed. In addition, many mushrooms produce toxins, and their medical uses are also receiving attention.
In this Special Issue, we invite you to participate in introducing the latest achievements in the field of molecular biology of mushrooms. This will not only be helpful to researchers in various fields researching mushrooms but will also contribute to the development of related research fields.
Dr. Young-Jin Park
Guest Editor
