From: HexA is required for growth, aflatoxin biosynthesis and virulence in Aspergillus flavus
The effect of hexA gene on the pathogenicity of WT, ΔhexA and ΔhexAC of A. flavus. a The strains of the WT, ΔhexA and ΔhexAC were grown on peanut seeds at 28 °C for 7 days. b Conidia production was assessed from the infected peanut seeds. c Quantification of AFB1 production as in d. d Aflatoxin was detected by TLC, which extracted from infected peanut seeds. e The strains of the WT, ΔhexA and ΔhexAC were grown on maize seeds at 28 °C for 7 days. f Conidia production was assessed from the infected maize seeds. g Quantification of AFB1 production as in h. h Aflatoxin was detected by TLC, which extracted from infected maize seeds. ***The bars represent significantly different (P < 0.001)
