Degeneration of Cordyceps militaris Strains: The Role of the MAT Mating-Type Locus

26/08/2024

Cordyceps militaris, a highly valued medicinal mushroom, is known for its numerous health benefits. However, cultivation of this fungus faces a significant challenge: strain degeneration. This phenomenon leads to decreased yield and quality of the final product. Among the factors contributing to degeneration, the MAT (Mating-type) gene system is considered to play a critical role. This paper aims to analyze the role of the MAT system in the degeneration of Cordyceps militaris strains.
