Nectaries as Entry Sites for Aspergillus flavus in Developing Cotton Bolls.

abstract：:Despite the benefits to the global food supply and agricultural economies, pesticides are believed to pose a threat to the health of both humans and wildlife. Chlorpyrifos (CP), a commonly used organophosphate insecticide, has poor target specificity and causes acute neurotoxicity in a wide range of species via the su...
