Reference Gene Selection for RT-qPCR Analysis in Maize Kernels Inoculated with Aspergillus flavus
Toxins, 2021 Resistance against infection by the fungus Aspergillus flavus Link in commercial maize (Zea mays L.) is the topic of many studies, but few studies have investigated the effects of A. flavus infection on gene expression levels in ear kernels.

Aflatoxin Accumulation in a Maize Diallel Cross
Agriculture, 2015 Aflatoxins, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus, occur naturally in maize. Contamination of maize grain with aflatoxin is a major food and feed safety problem and greatly reduces the value of the grain.
