Maize Transformation for Resistance to Aspergillus Flavus
… that lines R4 and R147 were more resistant to A. flavus than the control, which was supported by the GUS activity assay. Studies carried out in 1999 indicate that some lines containing both the ch18 and glu genes are more resistant to A. flavus than the control in the field and may also have …

Studies on the physiology of conidial germination by Aspergillus flavus
… of washed, Tween 20-treated conidia of Aspergillus flavus over a range of conidial densities. No exogenous carbon-independent germination was observed for settling tower-deposited dry conidia. At equivalent carbon, an amino acid mixture supported higher germination of washed conidia than …

Facultative mutualism between the navel orangeworm Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Aspergillus flavus
… association with the highly toxigenic fungus Aspergillus flavus Link. Despite the capacity of this fungus-insect association to damage a wide variety of tree crops, relatively little is known about the ecology of the interaction. I examined three aspects of this association to examine the …

A genetic study of resistance to kernel infection by Aspergillus flavus in maize (Zea mays L.)
Maize (Zea mays L.) kernel infection by Aspergillus flavus is a chronic problem in the southern USA. Genetic resistance to A. flavus is needed to solve this problem. To ascertain and understand the inheritance of resistance to field kernel infection by A. flavus, a five-parent diallel analysis and …

Molecular and bio-analytical characterisation as a means to understand genetic diversity within Kenyan Aspergillus flavus strains
Toxigenic Aspergillus species produce mycotoxins that are carcinogenic, hepatotoxic and teratogenic immunosuppressing agents in both human and animals. Kenya frequently experiences outbreaks of aflatoxicosis with the worst occurring in 2004, which resulted in 125 deaths. This study sought to find …

THE HOST-PATHOGEN INTERACTOME AND REGULATORY NETWORKS OF ASPERGILLUS FLAVUS PATHOGENESSIS OF ZEA MAYS: RESISTANCE IN MAIZE TO ASPERGILLUS EAR ROT AND TO AFLATOXIN ACCUMULATION
… the understanding of these mechanisms in Aspergillus flavus and Zea mays, three approaches were taken: 1) the development of a predicted interactome for Z. mays (PiZeaM), 2) the development of co-expression networks for Z. mays and A. flavus from RNA-seq data, and 3) the development of …

Effects of Storage Conditions of Aspergillus Growth and Aflatoxin Production in Peanuts. A Study in Ghana
… which are secondary metabolites of some Aspergillus fungi, mostly Aspergillus. flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aflatoxins in foods are known to cause liver cancer, stunted growth in children, immune system disorders and economic losses. Aflatoxin contamination of peanuts during …

Evaluation of aflatoxin-related products from ozonated corn
… Biosynthesis of [14-C]-labeled aflatoxin B1 by Aspergillus flavus (A53, C50Aa) and sodium acetate-1,2-[14C] as a precursor yielded 339 µg of [14C]-AFB1 with a specific activity of 1.06 µCi/µmol (7548 dpm/µg). Corn kernels inoculated with Aspergillus flavus (A53, C50Aa) resulted in the production …
