Maize genotypes resistant or susceptible to aflatoxin production or contamination were compared for differences in both constiutive and inducible proteins. Five additional constitutive proteins were found to be associated with resistance in over 8 of the 10 genotypes examined. Among these, the 58- and 46-kDa proteins were identified ad globulin-1 and gkibykub-2, respectively. Differences in the ability to induce specific antifungal proteins, such as the higher synthesis of the 22-kDa zeamatin in resistant geno- types, were also abserved between resistant and susceptible kernels. Both constitutive and inducible proteins appear to be necessary for kernel resistance.
