flavus and closely related species that infect several agricultural commodities including …

Understanding the complex interrelationships of plant and fungal gene products during the
host plant—Aspergillus flavus interaction is key in developing strategies to interrupt the …

Aspergillus flavus is a morphologically complex species that can produce the group of
polyketide derived carcinogenic and mutagenic secondary metabolites, aflatoxins, as well …

Aflatoxins are polyketide-derived, toxic, and carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced
primarily by two fungal species, Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus, on crops such as corn …

Aflatoxins are toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic and immunosuppressive
byproducts of Aspergillus spp. that contaminate a wide range of crops such as maize …

The colonization of maize (Zea mays L.) and peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) by the fungal
pathogen Aspergillus flavus results in the contamination of kernels with carcinogenic …

In the Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus)–peanut pathosystem, development and metabolism of
the fungus directly influence aflatoxin contamination. To comprehensively understand the …
