  12. MicroRNA268 Overexpression Affects Rice Seedling Growthunder Cadmium Stress

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 21–24-nucleotide-long RNAs that function as ubiquitous post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression in plants and animals. Increasing evidence points to the important role of miRNAs in plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Cadmium (Cd) is a nonessential heavy metal highly toxic to plants.

  24. Toxins, Vol. 9, Pages 218: Genotypic Regulation of Aflatoxin Accumulation but Not Aspergillus Fungal Growth upon Post-Harvest Infection of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Seeds

    • Toxins

    • Aflatoxin contamination is a major economic and food safety concern for the peanut industry that largely could be mitigated by genetic resistance. To screen peanut for aflatoxin resistance, ten genotypes were infected with a green fluorescent protein (GFP)—expressing Aspergillus flavus strain. Percentages of fungal infected area and fungal GFP signal intensity were documented by visual ratings every 8 h for 72 h after inoculation.
