Aflatoxin production among almond genotypes is not related to either kernel oil composition or Aspergillus flavus growth rate.

Genetic differences were observed in levels of aflatoxin production following controlled inoculations of California almonds (Prunus dulcis, P. communis). Genetic variation was also observed in kernel oil composition and in susceptibility to Aspergillus flavus.  Several almond lines resulting from the introgression of peach (P. persica) germplasm had very low aflatoxin levels relative to commercial cultivars tested. No correlation was detected between aflatoxin production in inoculated almond kernels and either kernel oil composition or mould growth rate on injured kernel tissue.
