Aflatoxins, trichothecenes, fumonisins, and ochratoxin A are considered the most important mycotoxins due to their frequent occurrence in food products and their well-known toxicity. The regulation of mycotoxin biosynthesis occurs mainly at transcriptional level, and specific regulators have been described in every biosynthetic cluster. Secondary metabolite production, including mycotoxin synthesis, is also regulated by general regulator pathways affected by light, osmotic stress and oxidative stress, among others. This review is focused on this genetic regulation of mycotoxin biosynthesis by specific genes and global regulators.engAtribución-NoComercial-CompartirIgual 3.0 Españahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/es/journal articlehttps://link-springer-com.bucm.idm.oclc.org/article/10.1007/s10123-019-00084-2open access577.1575AflatoxinsTrichothecenesFumonisinOchratoxin ABiosynthetic clusterTranscription factorsBioquímica (Biología)Genética2302 Bioquímica2409 Genética
