Abstract
⺠laeA deletion mutants in A. flavus CA14 do not produce aflatoxins. ⺠The mutants produce reduced conidia on certain media. ⺠The mycelia in mutants is less hydrophobic and conidial chains are shorter. ⺠Expression of early aflatoxin biosynthesis genes in mutants is reduced. ⺠Expression of the 'late' genes, ver1 and omtA was not found.
