2009 article

The sexual state ofAspergillus parasiticus

Horn, B. W., Ramirez-Prado, J. H., & Carbone, I. (2009, March 1). Mycologia, Vol. 101, pp. 275–280.

By: B. Horn *, J. Ramirez-Prado* & I. Carbone n 

author keywords: Aspergillus alliaceus; heterothallism; Petromyces alliaceus; Petromyces parasiticus; sexual reproduction; Trichocomaceae
MeSH headings : Aspergillus / cytology; Aspergillus / physiology; Reproduction / physiology; Species Specificity
topics (OpenAlex): Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases; Mycotoxins in Agriculture and Food; Yeasts and Rust Fungi Studies
TL;DR: The sexual state of Aspergillus parasiticus, a potent aflatoxin-producing fungus within section Flavi, is described and the production of nonostiolate ascocarps surrounded by a separate peridium within the stroma places the teleomorph in genus Petromyces. (via Semantic Scholar)

2007 article

Gene duplication, modularity and adaptation in the evolution of the aflatoxin gene cluster

Carbone, I., Ramirez-Prado, J. H., Jakobek, J. L., & Horn, B. W. (2007, January 1). BMC Evolutionary Biology, Vol. 7.

By: I. Carbone n , J. Ramirez-Prado n, J. Jakobek n & B. Horn *

MeSH headings : Acclimatization / genetics; Aflatoxins / genetics; Aspergillus / genetics; Gene Duplication; Genes, Fungal; Genome, Fungal; Models, Biological; Multigene Family; Phylogeny; Sequence Homology, Amino Acid; Species Specificity
topics (OpenAlex): Mycotoxins in Agriculture and Food; Plant Pathogens and Fungal Diseases; Fungal and yeast genetics research
TL;DR: The authors' results implicate several genomic mechanisms in the evolution of ST, OMST and AF cluster genes, including gene modules that are contiguous in one species and noncontiguous in others point to possible rearrangements of cluster genes in the Evolution of these species.
