Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for reducing aflatoxin accumulation in corn
2016-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Aflatoxin produced by Aspergillus flavus in corn poses significant health risks to both humans and livestock. Exploitation of host-plant resistance in breeding programs is a sustainable way to minimize aflatoxin contamination. Identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with resistance to aflatoxin accumulation in kernels can accelerate development of aflatoxin-resistant corn using marker-assisted s...
