Characterization of the maize lipoxygenase gene family in relation to aflatoxin accumulation resistance.

Characterization of the maize lipoxygenase gene family in relation to aflatoxin accumulation resistance.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a globally important staple food crop prone to contamination by aflatoxin, a carcinogenic secondary metabolite produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus. An efficient approach to reduce accumulation of aflatoxin is the development of germplasm resistant to colonization and tox...
