Characterization and Expression Analysis of the Sterol C-5 Desaturase Gene <i>PcERG3</i> in the Mycobiont of the Lichen <i>Peltigera canina</i> Under Abiotic Stresses

Lichens, symbiotic organisms with a high tolerance to harsh environments, possess a greater diversity of sterols than other organisms. Sterols are involved in maintaining membrane integrity, hormone biosynthesis, and signal transduction. (1) Background: A characteristic feature of lichen sterols is...
