METABOLITES IDENTIFIED DURING VARIED DOSES OF ASPERGILLUS SPECIES IN ZEA MAYS GRAINS, AND THEIR CORRELATION WITH AFLATOXIN LEVELS

Metabolites Identified during Varied Doses of Aspergillus Species in Zea mays Grains, and Their Correlation with Aflatoxin Levels

Aflatoxin contamination is associated with the development of aflatoxigenic fungi such as Aspergillus flavus and A.parasiticus on food grains.This study was aimed at investigating metabolites produced during fungal development on maize and their correlation with aflatoxin levels.Maize cobs were harvested at R3 (milk), R4 (dough), and R5 (dent) stag

Evolutionary history of the vertebrate Piwi gene family

PIWIs are regulatory proteins that belong to the Argonaute family.Piwis are primarily expressed Holy Basil in gonads and protect the germline against the mobilization and propagation of transposable elements (TEs) through transcriptional gene silencing.Vertebrate genomes encode up to four Piwi genes: Piwil1, Piwil2, Piwil3 and Piwil4, but their dup
