Abstract excerpt
Aspergillus flavus is an agriculturally significant micro-fungus having potential to contaminate food and feed crops with toxic secondary metabolites such as aflatoxin (AF) and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). Research has shown A. flavus strains can overcome heterokaryon incompatibility and undergo meiotic recombination as teleomorphs. Although evidence of recombination in the AF gene cluster has been reported, the...
