Abstract

RGS proteins, as crucial regulators of the G protein signaling pathway, are widely distributed in fungi, while little is known about their roles in Aspergillus flavus development and aflatoxin. In this study, we identified six RGS proteins in A. flavus and revealed that these proteins have important functions in the regulation of conidia, sclerotia, and aflatoxin formation.
