Molecular Mechanism During Mycelium Subculture Degeneration of <i>Volvariella volvacea</i> by Lidan Feng, Lujuan Wang, Yuanxi Lei, Jie Li, Fengyun Zhao

“…The results showed that as the number of subcultures increased, the diameter of the mycelium and biological efficiency gradually decreased; in addition, the time in which the primordium formed increased and the production cycle was lengthened, while strains M4 and M5 lacked the ability to produce fruiting bodies. There were 245 differentially expressed genes between the M1–M5 and M0 strains, while the highest number of differentially expressed genes was between M3 and M0, at 1439; the smallest number of differentially expressed genes was between M2 and M0, at 959. …”
