Abstract
Aflatoxins are carcinogenic and extremely toxic secondary metabolites produced primarily by two fungi, Aspergillus flavus Link ex Fries and A. parasiticus Speare. Elimination of aflatoxin contamination in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a high priority of the peanut industry. Resistant cultivars should be an effective and low-cost part of an integrated aflatoxin management program. To date, no cultivated peanut has been reported with stable high levels of resistance to aflatoxin production. Arachis species and interspecific tetraploid lines have been evaluated for resistance to several peanut diseases and insect pests, and highly resistant accessions have been reported. Seven accessions of A. cardenasii Krapov. and w.e. Gregory, 29 of A. duranensis Krapov. and w.e. Gregory, and 17 interspecific tetraploid lines derived fromA. hypogaea xA. cardenasii were inoculated with A.flavus strain NRRL 3357 and analyzed for aflatoxin content after incubation.
