Host-Induced Gene Silencing of the <i>Aspergillus flavus O</i>-Methyl Transferase Gene Enhanced Maize Aflatoxin Resistance

Host-Induced Gene Silencing of the <i>Aspergillus flavus O</i>-Methyl Transferase Gene Enhanced Maize Aflatoxin Resistance

Maize is one of the major crops that are susceptible to <i>Aspergillus flavus</i> infection and subsequent aflatoxin contamination, which poses a serious health threat to humans and domestic animals. Here, an RNA interference (RNAi) approach called Host-Induced Gene Silencing (HIGS) was...
