Strategies in Prevention of Preharvest Aflatoxin Contamination in Peanuts: Aflatoxin Biosynthesis, Genetics and Genomics

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), or groundnut, is an important crop economically and nutritionally in many tropical and subtropical areas of the world. It is also one of the most susceptible host crops to Aspergillus flavus resulting in aflatoxin contamination. The prevention or elimination of aflatoxin contamination in preharvest and postharvest crops is a serious challenge facing scientists. The...

Integration of Crop Management and Genetics for Control of Preharvest Aflatoxin Contamination of Corn

Aflatoxin contamination of corn in the field is influenced by several factors. In the southern U.S., insect populations are usually large every year. Drought caused by warmer and drier than normal weather is conducive to A. flavus infection and aflatoxin contamination of corn, Zea mays L. When loose-husked hybrids are used in the southern U.S., they accentuate insect damage and aflatoxin contam...

Preharvest aflatoxin contamination: effect of moisture and substrate variation in developing cottonseed and corn kernels.

Variations in moisture and substrate in preharvest corn kernels and cottonseed were linked with the ability of Aspergillus parasiticus to infect the seed and produce aflatoxin. Osmotic pressures and moisture content (MC) levels of developing starch-rich corn kernels and lipid-rich cottonseed were determined. For in vivo studies, corn kernels and cottonseed were inoculated with A. parasiticus co...

Silk Maysin Content and Resistance of Commercial Corn [ Maize ] Hybrids to Kernel Contamination by Aflatoxin

Several phenols and related compounds have been shown to have detrimental effects on insects while others have antibiotic activity against fungi which attack higher plants. Insects have also been implicated as contributors to preharvest contamination of corn [maize], Zea mays L, by aflatoxin. The objectives, therefore, were to determine (a) if commercial corn hybrids vary in their silk maysin c...

Survey of Candidate Genes for Maize Resistance to Infection by Aspergillus flavus and/or Aflatoxin Contamination

Many projects have identified candidate genes for resistance to aflatoxin accumulation or Aspergillus flavus infection and growth in maize using genetic mapping, genomics, transcriptomics and/or proteomics studies. However, only a small percentage of these candidates have been validated in field conditions, and their relative contribution to resistance, if any, is unknown. This study presents a...
