| Popis: | Reducing infection by Aspergillus flavus group species that produce aflatoxins in corn is an area of intense interest. One speculation is that chitinase could be a resistance factor involved in inhibiting or reducing fungal growth. Mature kernels of yellow corn (A. flavus resistant) and white corn (A. flavus susceptible) were assayed for chitinase activity (.) |
