Abstract
Seeds from three commercially grown peanut cultivars and two resistant genotypes had varying degrees of resistance to colonization by the storage fungus,Aspergillus flavus. Peanut genotypes PI337409 and PI337394F had significantly higher resistance to colonization than other tested cultivars. Some of the biochemical changes in peanuts resulting from A. flavus infestation included: Reduction of oil and protein content, rapid increase in free fatty acids and changes in the amino acid composition.

Abstract
Aflatoxin contamination of peanut caused by Aspergillus flavus, is a major problem in the rainfed agriculture in the semi-arid tropics associated with end-of-season drought stress. The present study was taken up to investigate the relationship between total phenol

content of peanut leaves and kernels with aflatoxin content. Moisture stress was imposed from 60DAS to till harvest under rainout shelters and the data was recorded at the endof-season drought conditions during kharif, 2003. Results revealed that, among the twenty one peanut genotypes tested, J-11, IC-48, ICGV 89104 and ICGS-76 had consistently low aflatoxin levels (<25 ppb) and high total phenols in leaves and kernels (>1,300 g g1) at harvest under end-of-season drought conditions. Aflatoxin production was negatively correlated with total phenols in kernels (r 2 = 0.42, P < 0.05) and leaves (r 2 = 0.37, P < 0.05). No consistent relationship was observed between kernel infection and aflatoxin production.

Abstract
The presence of Aspergillus species is an indicator of storage conditions, which also suggests the possibility of several biochemical changes in grains. A comparative change in total soluble proteins and protease activity was determined in commercial peanut seeds collected from Georgia State. Protein contents of healthy peanuts, naturally contaminated peanuts and then artificially inoculated peanut seeds with A. flavus were estimated by Bradford method, and protease activity was also determined by using the Protease Detection Kits. Protein contents and the protease activity of the peanuts varied from sample to sample. The soluble protein content of seeds was significantly higher in healthy peanuts than in artificially inoculated or naturally infected peanuts with A. flavus. Protease activity was found to be higher in artificially inoculated seeds than in either naturally infected or healthy peanuts. Level of soluble proteins in buffer extracts of contaminated seeds decreased with incubation time, and protease activity increased with incubation time. These changes may be attributed to host response due to infection, contribution by A. flavus or due to biochemical alterations that occur naturally during the transition from endosperm to seedling during incubation period.
