Using genome-wide associations to identify metabolic pathways involved in maize aflatoxin accumulation resistance

BACKGROUND: Aflatoxin is a potent carcinogen that can contaminate grain infected with the fungus Aspergillus flavus. However, resistance to aflatoxin accumulation in maize is a complex trait with low heritability. Here, two complementary analyses were performed to better understand the mechanisms in...
