Lohmar J, Gross S, Carter-Wientjes C, Mack B, Wei Q, Lebar M, et al.
PLoS One . 2025 Mar; 20(3):e0315766. PMID: 40029854
Forkhead transcription factors regulate several important biological processes in many eukaryotic species including fungi. Bioinformatic analysis of the Aspergillus flavus genome revealed four putative forkhead transcription factor genes. Genetic disruption...

J Fungi (Basel) . 2024 Sep; 10(9). PMID: 39330424
, a fungus known for producing aflatoxins, poses significant threats to agriculture and global health. Flavonoids, plant-derived compounds, inhibit proliferation and mitigate aflatoxin production, although the precise molecular and physical...

Mycologia . 2024 May; 116(4):536-557. PMID: 38727560
The ascomycete fungus infects and contaminates corn, peanuts, cottonseed, and tree nuts with toxic and carcinogenic aflatoxins. Subdivision between soil and host plant populations suggests that certain strains are specialized...

Moore G, Mack B, Wendt K, Castano-Duque L, Anderson V, Cichewicz R
Mol Microbiol . 2024 Feb; 121(5):927-939. PMID: 38396382
Aspergillus flavus is an agriculturally significant micro-fungus having potential to contaminate food and feed crops with toxic secondary metabolites such as aflatoxin (AF) and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). Research has shown...

Moore G, Chalivendra S, Mack B, Gilbert M, Cary J, Rajasekaran K
Front Microbiol . 2023 Nov; 14:1291284. PMID: 38029119
Background: Nearly everything on Earth harbors a microbiome. A microbiome is a community of microbes (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) with potential to form complex networks that involve mutualistic and antagonistic...

G3 (Bethesda) . 2023 Jul; 13(9). PMID: 37401423
Fungi can synthesize a broad array of secondary metabolite chemicals. The genes underpinning their biosynthesis are typically arranged in tightly linked clusters in the genome. For example, ∼25 genes responsible...

Data Brief . 2022 Mar; 42:108033. PMID: 35330736
Information on the transcriptomic changes that occur within sclerotia of during its sexual cycle is very limited and warrants further research. The findings will broaden our knowledge of the biology...
