Infection with toxigenic and atoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus induces different transcriptional signatures in maize kernels
The application of atoxigenic Aspergillus flavus strains in maize fields has been shown to be an effective strategy for controlling contamination of aflatoxins, potent carcinogens produced by the fungus. This study monitored the expression levels of 18 defense genes against toxigenic and atoxigenic...
