ABSTRACT: Gene expression analysis of A. parasiticus grown under conditions conducive and nonconductive for aflatoxin production was evaluated using glass slide microarrays containing 765 ESTs. Aflatoxins (AF) produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus are responsible for approximately $270M in losses annually in the corn, peanut, cotton, and tree nut industries of the United States. In an attempt to develop effective control procedures, research has focused on elucidating the pathway of aflatoxin biosynthesis with the goal of identifying potential targets for intervention. Research to date points to the involvement of complex and likely overlapping regulatory circuits. To better understand the regulation by nutritional and environmental factors, a targeted cDNA microarray consisting of g
