A little, although really all three are vastly different. Fungal cells and plant cells both have rigid walls, which probably gives them a tiny bit of radiation resistance. I can’t think of much else that would do it.

Yeah, I think it was that and something about their cellular replication that is different from animals. It why plants don’t get cancer or tumorous growths as often as animals and humans.
