Time course study of substrate utilization by Aspergillus flavus in medium simulating corn (Zea mays) kernelsJay E Mellon
Southern Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U S Department of Agriculture, P O Box 19687, New Orleans, Louisiana 70179, USA
J Agric Food Chem 50:648-52. 2002..In contrast to previously described selective use of simple carbohydrates by A. flavus, less discrimination was displayed when faced with utilization of complex substrates such as starch or triglycerides...- No effect of soybean lipoxygenase on aflatoxin production in Aspergillus flavus-inoculated seedsJ K Mellon
U S Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Southern Regional Research Center, P O Box 19687, New Orleans, Louisiana 70179, USA
J Food Prot 65:1984-7. 2002..Seed coat integrity and seed viability seem to be more important characteristics in soybean seed resistance to aflatoxin contamination. Soybean seeds lacking LOX seem safe from the threat of increased seed pathogen susceptibility... - Expression of pectinase activity among Aspergillus flavus isolates from southwestern and southeastern United StatesJay E Mellon
USDA, ARS, Southern Regional Research Center, PO Box 19687, New Orleans, Louisiana 70179, USA
Mycopathologia 157:333-8. 2004..Thus, although P2c-lacking isolates have reduced invasiveness, these isolates still have sufficient pathogenicity to cause aflatoxin contamination... - Inhibition of aflatoxin biosynthesis in Aspergillus flavus by diferuloylputrescine and p-coumaroylferuloylputrescineJay E Mellon
Southern Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U S Department of Agriculture, P O Box 19687, New Orleans, Louisiana 70179, USA
J Agric Food Chem 52:6660-3. 2004..flavus infection. The localization of these diconjugated polyamine components in the pericarp, which functions as a physical barrier and surrounds the internal food storage reserves, suggests a defensive role for these materials... - Substrate utilization by Aspergillus flavus in inoculated whole corn kernels and isolated tissuesJay E Mellon
Southern Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U S Department of Agriculture, P O Box 19687, New Orleans, Louisiana 70179, USA
J Agric Food Chem 53:2351-7. 2005..When invading nonwounded corn kernels, the fungus selectively targets the germ tissue where these materials are localized in the highest concentrations... - Aspergillus flavus hydrolases: their roles in pathogenesis and substrate utilizationJay E Mellon
US Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Southern Regional Research Center, P O Box 19687, New Orleans, LA 70179, USA
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 77:497-504. 2007..flavus. This information may be critical for the formulation of successful strategies to control aflatoxin contamination in affected commodities... 
Inhibitory effects of gossypol, gossypolone, and apogossypolone on a collection of economically important filamentous fungiJay E Mellon
Southern Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U S Department of Agriculture, New Orleans, Louisiana 70124, United States
J Agric Food Chem 60:2740-5. 2012..flavus and A. parasiticus. Both gossypol and apogossypolone demonstrated significant inhibition of ochratoxin A production (47%; 91%, respectively) in cultures of A. alliaceus...- Identification of a major xylanase from Aspergillus flavus as a 14-kD proteinJay E Mellon
Southern Regional Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, USDA, P O Box 19687, New Orleans, LA 70179, USA
Mycopathologia 172:299-305. 2011..XlnA may be a highly mobile (diffusible), plant wall hemicellulose degrading factor with significant activity during plant infection...
