RNA-Sequencing of three corn lines with different levels of Aflatoxin resistance
To better understand the molecular mechanisms of maize resistance to Aspergillus flavus growth and aflatoxin accumulation in kernels, we performed a high-throughput study in situ using maize kernels infected with A. flavus. Kernels from three corn lines, TZAR102 (resistant), MI82 (semi resistant), Virginia-35 (susceptible) were inoculated with A. flavus NRRL3357 spores and harvested for RNA at 8 hours, 3 days, and 7 days.
