Highlights: [•] A. flavus VelB controls production of conidia, aflatoxin and sclerotia. [•] A. flavus VeA compared to VelB has a primary and dominant role in conidiation. [•] VelB as well as LaeA interact with FluG in Y2H assays. [•] Overexpression of velB but not veA elevates sclerotial production. [•] VelB likely coordinate with FluG to modulate sclerotial production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
