AGFD: Mycotoxins | |||
| Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by fungi that are toxic and carcinogenic to both animals and man. Due to their potential occurrence in a variety of agricultural commodities, diverse research programs are directed at understanding mycotoxin biosynthetic pathways and their genetic controls. Topics presented will describe proteomic and sequence driven approaches to identify high-value target proteins/genes and projects directed at elucidating the role some of these genes play in toxin synthesis as well as plant/fungal interactions. | |||
