Aflatoxin B1 Contamination Association with the Seed Coat Biochemical Marker Polyphenol in Peanuts Under Intermittent Drought.

ABSTRACT: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination (AC) increases as the severity of drought stress increases in peanuts. Identifying drought-tolerant (DT) genotypes with resistance to Aspergillus flavus colonization and/or infection may aid in developing peanuts resistant to aflatoxin contamination in the semi-arid tropics. The goal of this study is to identify DT genotypes with seed coat biochemical resistance to A. flavus infestation and aflatoxin contamination. Experiments were carried out at ICRISAT Sahelian Center; fifty-five genotypes were assessed under adjacent intermittent water-stressed (WS) conditions imposed from the 60th day after sowing to the maturity date and well-watered (WW) conditions in an alpha lattice design with two factors. The yield and its components, the incidence
