Comparative Genomics of Aspergillus flavus S and L Morphotypes Yield Insights into Niche Adaptation

Aspergillus flavus, the primary causal agent for aflatoxin contamination on crops, consists of isolates with two distinct morphologies: isolates of the S morphotype produce numerous small sclerotia and lower numbers of conidia while isolates of the L morphotype produce fewer large sclerotia and abun...
