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…

Advances in Research on Aflatoxin Biosynthetic Gene Clusters: Key Findings and Implications
Introduction: Aflatoxins, toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus species, pose significant threats to human and animal health. Understanding the structural gene characteristics of aflatoxin biosynthetic clusters is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies. Recent research sheds light on the genetic mechanisms underpinning aflatoxin biosynthesis, particularly in Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, offering valuable…
