BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Mycotoxins are secondary fungal metabolites with a very high diversity that are produced by some species of Aspergillus which frequently leads to contaminate food and agricultural products. Recently, elimination of aflatoxin contamination in food and feed has been considered by scientists worldwide. Although, the antibacterial and antifungal effects of vitamins as natural...

Background: In soybean growing areas, the agro-climatic conditions of mansoon season favours more to grow only during kharif even in assured irrigation water supply circumstances. But there is a magnificent opportunity put back wheat rabi by adopting diversification towards other crops which are having higher productivity. Methods: A field trial was conducted rainy, winter and late seasons year...

background aflatoxins are highly toxic secondary metabolites mainly produced by aspergillus parasiticus. this species can contaminate a wide range of agricultural commodities, including cereals, peanuts, and crops in the field. in recent years, research on medicinal herbs, such as pistacia atlantica subsp. kurdica, have led to reduced microbial growth, and these herbs also have a particular eff...

prosite database contains a set of entries corresponding to protein families, which are used to identify the family of a protein from its sequence. although patterns and profiles are developed to be very selective, each may have false positive or negative hits. considering false positives as items that reduce the selectiveness of a pattern, then, the more selective pattern we have, a more accur...
