Advances in Aflatoxin Biosynthesis: Understanding Structural Gene Characteristics
Introduction: Aflatoxins, highly toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus spp., pose significant risks to food safety and public health. The biosynthesis of aflatoxins involves a complex gene cluster containing at least 30 structural genes. This article explores the latest research on these genes and their roles in aflatoxin production. Visit https://www.plantsciencejournal.org/jpsp for more…
