Association mapping and pathway analysis of ear rot disease caused by Aspergillus flavus in a panel of tropical maize germplasm
2021-11-01
Abstract excerpt
The fungus Aspergillus flavus can produce high, unsafe levels of aflatoxin in maize (Zea mays L.) and other high‐oil seed crops under environmental conditions favoring fungal growth and sporulation. At high levels, aflatoxin can kill, and chronic exposure to lower levels causes liver cancer, stunted growth during childhood, and depressed immune systems in humans and animals. Aspergillus ear rot (AER) is especially...
