Role of the <i>osaA</i> transcription factor gene in development, secondary metabolism and virulence in the mycotoxigenic fungus <i>Aspergil lus flavus</i>
2025-11-27
Abstract excerpt
Aspergillus flavus colonizes oil-seed crops contaminating them with aflatoxins, highly carcinogenic mycotoxins that cause severe health and economic losses. Genetic studies may reveal new targets for effective control strategies. Here we characterized a putative WOPR transcription factor gene, osaA , in A. flavus . Our results revealed that osaA regulates conidiation and sclerotial formation. Importantly, delet...
