Plant growth regulator diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate suppresses Aspergillus flavus growth and aflatoxin biosynthesis through disruption of redox homeostasis
ABSTRACT Aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁), produced by Aspergillus flavus, is a major threat to food safety and human health. In this study, we report that diethyl aminoethyl hexanoate (DA-6), a plant growth regulator, exhibits strong antifungal and anti-aflatoxigenic activities against A. flavus. DA-6 significantly inhibited mycel...
