Resistance to Aflatoxin Accumulation in Maize Mediated by Host-Induced Silencing of the <i>Aspergillus flavus</i> Alkaline Protease (<i>alk</i>) Gene

Resistance to Aflatoxin Accumulation in Maize Mediated by Host-Induced Silencing of the <i>Aspergillus flavus</i> Alkaline Protease (<i>alk</i>) Gene

<i>Aspergillus flavus</i> is a fungal pathogen that infects maize and produces aflatoxins. Host-Induced Gene Silencing (HIGS) has been shown to reduce host infection by various fungal pathogens. Here, the <i>A. flavus</i> alkaline protease (<i>alk</i>) gene was ta...
