The effects of selected cotton-leaf volatiles on growth, development and aflatoxin production of Aspergillus parasiticus.

Previous studies have shown that aflatoxigenic strains of A. flavus and A. parasiticus grown in the presence of specific cotton leaf volatiles exhibit alterations in aflatoxin production accompanied by variations in growth of the fungi.  In this study, two alcohols (3-methyl-1-butanol (3-MB) and nonanol) and two terpenes (camphene and limonene) were chosen as representative cotton leaf volatiles and their effects on fungal growth and/or aflatoxin production were investigated.  Aflatoxin production increased in cultures exposed to 3-MB but decreased when exposed to the other three volatiles studied.
