Effect of Inoculation of Aflatoxin and Aspergillus flavus on the kernel Development and Nutrient Composition in field-grown rice

Aflatoxin 및 Aspergillus flavus의 처리가 벼의 성숙 및 쌀의 성분에 미치는 영향

Two Rice cultivars , a high yield variety of Cheongcheong and a Korea native kind of Chucheong were grown in paddy. 1$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 10$\mu\textrm{g}$ of aflatoxin B1 and Aspergillus flavus (106 conidia/ml) were inoculated at milk stage. At harvest, kernels from the inoculated plant showed slightly lower ripening rates and 100-grain weight than did those of controls. The nutrient and fatty acid composition of unpolished rice of inoculated group were similar to those of controls and difference between the control and inoculated group were not significantly different.
