Abstract:Many fungi are closely related to human health, industrial and agricultural production and material circulation in the ecosystem. Fungi synthesize a variety of sex hormones, plant hormones and animal hormones. These endogenous hormones and exogenous hormones produced by plants and animals can be perceived by fungi and affect fungal growth and development, fruit body formation, metabolism, pathogenesis and symbiosis. However, little is known about the synthesis and signaling pathways, origin and evolution of the fungal hormones. The establishment of fungal hormonology will greatly promote the research and application of fungal hormones.
