"Aflatoxins are toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic and immunosuppressive byproducts of\r\nAspergillus spp. that contaminate a wide range of crops such as maize, peanut, and cotton. Aflatoxin\r\nnot only affects crop production but renders the produce unfit for consumption and harmful to human\r\nand livestock health, with stringent threshold limits of acceptability. In many crops, breeding for resistance\r\nis not a reliable option because of the limited availability of genotypes with durable resistance\r\nto Aspergillus. Understanding the fungal/crop/environment interactions involved in aflatoxin contamination\r\nis therefore essential in designing measures for its prevention and control. For a sustainable\r\nsolution to aflatoxin contamination, research must be focused on identifying and improving knowledge\r\nof host–plant resistance factors to aflatoxin accumulation. Current advances in genetic transformation,\r\nproteomics, RNAi technology, and marker-assisted selection offer great potential in minimizing preharvest\r\naflatoxin contamination in cultivated crop species. Moreover, developing effective phenotyping\r\nstrategies for transgenic as well as precision breeding of resistance genes into commercial varieties is critical.\r\nWhile appropriate storage practices can generally minimize post-harvest aflatoxin contamination in\r\ncrops, the use of biotechnology to interrupt the probability of pre-harvest infection and contamination\r\nhas the potential to provide sustainable solution"^^ .
