Genome-wide association study leads to novel genetic insights into resistance to Aspergillus flavus in maize kernels

Abstract Background Fungus infection in staple grains affects the food storage and threatens food security. The Aspergillus flavus is known to infect multiple grains and produce mycotoxin Aflatoxin B1, which is mutagenic, teratogenic and causes immunosuppression in animals. However, the molecular me...
