Aflatoxin contamination caused by the opportunistic pathogen A. flavus is a major concern in maize production prior to harvest and through storage. Previous studies have highlighted the constitutive production of proteins involved in maize kernel resistance against A. flavus’ infection. However, ...
Efforts to identify maize germplasm with resistance to
Aspergillus flavus
infection and subsequent accumulation
of aflatoxins were initiated by the US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service at several locations
in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Research units at four locati...

Identifying and developing maize germplasm with resistance to accumulation of aflatoxins
Aspergillus flavus infection of maize and subsequent contamination with carcinogenic aflatoxins poses serious health concerns, especially in developing countries. Maize lines resistant to A. flavus infection have been identified; however, the development of commercially-useful aflatoxin-resistant...
