Working Document Series Open Access Use of medicinal plant extracts and light sensitization to inhibit conidia growth in aflatoxin producing Aspergillus flavus L.M. Njoki · S.A. Okoth · P.M. Wachira Fungal proliferation causing aflatoxin contamination has been on the rise in Africa due to the adverse changes in climate. Deaths and diseases like cancers have been detected in human beings and animals due to consumption of these toxigeni… RUF-39338 2018 CC BY 4.0 27 Jul 2021
Working Document Series Open Access Effect of crop rotation on aflatoxin contamination in groundnuts A. Abraham · R.L. Brandenburg · W. Mhango · S.M.C. Njoroge +1 more Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites primarily produced by the fungi Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus and, to a lesser extent, A. nomius. Good agricultural practices can aid in the reduction of aflatoxin contaminatio in the field. Well p… RUF-37442 2016 CC BY 4.0 10 Apr 2018

Working Document Series Open Access Characterization of a diverse set of maize germplasm for resistance to infection by Aspergillus flavus and accumulation of aflatoxin G. Asea · D.B. Kwemoi · P. Okori Sources of resistance to A. flavus have been identified elsewhere but no such materials are currently available for use by the maize improvement program in Uganda. The goal of this study was to initiate breeding for resistance to the fungu… RUF-34558 2010 CC BY 4.0 4 Sep 2015
