Dose response for Auricularia auricula-judae against acute gamma irradiation

Auricularia auricula-judae is a jelly and ear-like mushroom well known as part of traditional Chinese medicine and cuisine. Issues in mushroom cultivation are related to sustaining sufficient amount of strains with genetic variations for selection and obtaining quality strains for mother cultures....
