- Intervention effect Inoculated seed cultures produced phytoalexins whereas sterile controls did not.
- Observation Inoculated seed cultures were contaminated with aflatoxins.
- Intervention effect Mannitol water stress significantly decreased phytoalexin production relative to nonstressed controls.
- Intervention effect Polyethylene glycol water stress significantly decreased phytoalexin production relative to nonstressed controls.
- Intervention effect Mannitol water stress enhanced fungal growth versus nonstressed controls.
- Intervention effect Polyethylene glycol water stress enhanced fungal growth versus nonstressed controls.
- Intervention effect Mannitol-stressed seeds inoculated with A. flavus had significantly more aflatoxin contamination than unstressed controls.
- Intervention effect Mannitol-stressed seeds inoculated with A. parasiticus had significantly more aflatoxin contamination than unstressed controls.
- Recommendation The seed culture system could be used to evaluate peanut genotypes for aflatoxin resistance under water stress.
