Elimination of Aflatoxin via Aflatoxin-Degrading Enzyme Expression in Crops

This technology involves the expression of an aflatoxin-degrading enzyme in maize kernels. The enzyme was engineered to target the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and become expressed using an embryo-specific promoter in the transgenic maize. It can be used in combination with an RNAi suppression method, HIGS, to protect maize during pre-harvest conditions. Background: It...

Degradation of Aflatoxin B1 in Contaminated Maize

Inventors at the University of Arizona have developed a method for removing Aflatoxin B1 from contaminated crops by using a specific type of fungus, Pleurotus ostreatus. Aflatoxin concentrations can be reduced from levels considered unacceptable for human or animal consumption to levels at which the products are safe to consume. Furthermore, the method...
