Hypericum vermiculare and Salvia officinalis inhibitory effects on aflatoxin B1 production and regulatory genes expression in Aspergillus flavus

Puntos clave

• Inhibitory effects were observed in aflatoxin B1 production, suggesting potential for food safety.
• Hypericum vermiculare and Salvia officinalis both reduced gene expression related to aflatoxin synthesis.
• Analysis of gene expression involved evaluating regulatory pathways in Aspergillus flavus.
• Findings imply these plants may serve as natural agents against aflatoxin contamination.
