    Abstract: Aflatoxins, produced by some aflatoxigenic strains of the Aspergillus species, are known as potent carcinogenic. Aflatoxin biosynthesis involves lipid peroxidation with the presence of fatty acid hydroperoxides promoting aflatoxin production. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) derives from α-linolenic acid and is a plant growth regulator, produced as a respon... Show More
