Exploration of the Regulatory Mechanism of Secondary Metabolism by Comparative Transcriptomics in Aspergillus flavus

Abstract excerpt

Mycotoxins cause a huge threaten to agriculture, food safety, and human and animal life. Among them, aflatoxins have always been considered the most potent carcinogens, and filamentous fungi from Aspergillus genus are their major producers, especially A. flavus. Although the biosynthesis path of these chemicals had been well-identified, the regulatory mechanisms controlling expression of aflatoxin gene cluster...
