Identification of sources of resistance against Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin contamination in maize cultivars using molecular and kernel screening assay
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a main cereal crop for livestock and human consumption worldwide. Maize production must increase by 70 % by 2050 to feed the growing population. However, the crop has many challenges, including its suitability for aflatoxigenic fungus (Aspergillus flavus). The present study in...
