Aspergillus colonization and aflatoxin contamination in peanut genotypes with reduced linoleic acid composition.

Previous research has indicated that resistance to Aspergillus flavus and A parasiticus of agricultural crop may be conferred by altering the fatty acid composition of these crops.  Recently, peanut breeding lines with reduced linoleic acid content have been developed.  In this study seven breeding lines of peanuts with relatively low linoleic acid and two check genotypes were inoculated with a mixture of A.flavus and A. parasiticus aout 60 days after planting and subjected to drought and heat stress for the 40 days immediately preceding harvest.  Low linoleic acid composition had no measurable effect on preharvest aflatoxin contamination in peanut when data were combied across years and locations.
