<h4>Background</h4>Fungus infection in staple grains affects the food storage and threatens food security. The Aspergillus flavus is known to infect multiple grains and produce mycotoxin Aflatoxin B1, which is mutagenic, teratogenic and causes immunosuppression in animals. However, the molecular mechanism of maize resistance to A. flavus is largely unknown.<h4>Results</h4>Here we used corn kernels to investigate resistance genes to A. flavus using genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 313 inbr ...[more]
