An Aspergillus parasiticus gene, designated apa-2, was identified as a regulatory gene
associated with aflatoxin biosynthesis. The apa-2 gene was cloned on the basis of …

The biogenetic basis of aflatoxin production was investigated by testing the influence of
known inhibitors of protein synthesis on several toxigenic and nontoxigenic strains of …

Aims Field control of aflatoxin contamination is thought to occur through competitive
exclusion of native aflatoxigenic fungi by introduced nonaflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus …

Aflatoxins are carcinogenic mycotoxins formed by a number of fungi in the genus
Aspergillus. The major fungi responsible for aflatoxin formation in crop seeds in the field and …

Background Resveratrol has been reported as a natural phytoalexin that inhibits infection or
the growth of certain fungi including Aspergillus flavus. Our previous research revealed that …

An aspect of mycotoxin biosynthesis that remains unclear is its relationship with the cellular
management of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here we conduct a comparative study of the …

Aspergillus flavus is a common filamentous fungus that produces aflatoxins and presents a
major threat to agriculture and human health. Previous phylogenetic studies of A. flavus …

Aspergillus flavus, a mycotoxigenic filamentous fungus, colonizes several important
agricultural crops, such as maize and peanuts. Two proteins, VeA and LaeA, known to form …

The study of fungal species evolved radically with the development of molecular techniques
and produced new evidence to understand specific fungal mechanisms such as the …

Aspergillus flavus is a common saprophyte and opportunistic pathogen producing aflatoxin
(AF) and many other secondary metabolites. 5-Azacytidine (5-AC), a derivative of the …
