The effect of vegetative compatibility on the inhibition of aflatoxin B1production by Aspergillus parasiticuswas examined using nonaflatoxigenic strains. Nonaflatoxigenic white-conidial mutants were paired in different proportions on an agar medium with aflatoxigenic yellow-conidial mutants belonging to the same isolate, to the same vegetative compatibility group but with the original wild types differing in phenotype, and to different vegetative compatibility groups. Heterokaryosis as a result of hyphal anastomosis was detected by the presence of conidiogenous structures with a mixture of green and parental (white and/or yellow) chains of conidia. Sclerotium production (number and dry weight) was significantly greater in pairings of compatible strains that formed heterokaryons than in pairings of strains from different vegetative compatibility groups. In contrast, there were no consistent differences in aflatoxin B1inhibition by nonaflatoxigenic strains in pairings from the same vegetative compatibility group and pairings from different groups. Therefore, the composition of vegetative compatibility groups within a population may be of minor importance in predicting the efficacy of a particular nonaflatoxigenic strain for the biological control of aflatoxin contamination of crops. |
