Identification of Regulatory Genes in A. Flavus and A. Nidulans that are Involved in Mycotoxin Production, Morphogenesis, and Virulence

Objective

<p>Identify key genes involved in regulation of oxidative stress, nitric oxide production, and nitrogen metabolism in Aspergillus (A.) nidulans and A. flavus whose expression are dependent on the presence of regulatory genes such as veA. Determine role of these genes in regulation of biological activities such as fungal toxin production, morphogenesis, and virulence.</p>
