Fungi contain a remarkable diversity of both primary and secondary metabolic pathways
involved in ecologically specialized or accessory functions. Genes in these pathways are …

Aflatoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus spp. found in staple food
and feed commodities worldwide. Aflatoxins are carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic …

Fungal secondary metabolism and morphological development have been shown to be
intimately associated at the genetic level. Much of the literature has focused on the co …

To ensure future food security, it is crucial to understand how potential climate change
scenarios will affect agriculture. One key area of interest is how climatic factors, both in the …

Enemy‐risk effects, often referred to as non‐consumptive effects (NCEs), are an important
feature of predator–prey ecology, but their significance has had little impact on the …

Comparative genomics is a powerful tool to infer the molecular basis of fungal pathogenicity
and its evolution by identifying differences in gene content and genomic organization …

There is an important reason for the accelerated use of non-aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus
to mitigate pre-harvest aflatoxin contamination… it effectively addresses the imperative need …

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

The role of microbial secondary metabolites in the ecology of the organisms that produce
them remains poorly understood. Variation in aflatoxin production by Aspergillus flavus is …

Aspergillus flavus is the major producer of carcinogenic aflatoxins (AFs) in crops worldwide.
Natural populations of A. flavus show tremendous variation in AF production, some of which …
