“…Of the parameters measured, callus chlorophyll and fresh mass accumulation were negatively affected at low AFBi concentrations. Such low doses have been reported to cause little or no effect on germination of various seeds (Jones et al 1980, Llewellyn et al 1982) and excised embryos (McLean et al 1993a), or on root hypocotyl extension in a number of seedlings (Llewellyn et al 1984, McLean et al 1993a.…”

The phytotoxic effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on in vitro cultures of differentiating calli and regenerating plantlets of Nicotiana tabacum were assessed. Callus appeared more sensitive to the effects of AFB1, with fresh mass accumulation and callus chlorophyll levels affected at low (approximately 0.5 micrograms/ml) aflatoxin concentrations. Transmission electron microscopy revealed early deteriorative alterations in chloroplast morphology. Inhibitory effects of the toxin (up to and including 10 micrograms/ml) on callus fresh mass accumulation were reversed following a 3 week toxin-free recovery period. In tobacco plantlets, root and leaf development, and root and leaf mass were significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent fashion with increasing AFB1 concentration above 0.5 micrograms/ml. Inhibitory effects on plantlet root development were more pronounced that on leaf development.

“…Synthetic food preservatives such as hexachlorobenzene (HCB) cause prophyria or poisoning in human (Jones et al, 1980). Other preservatives like captan, captafol and folpet cause irritation in skin, dermal sensitization and many respiratory problems (Royce et al, 1993;Vllaplana and Romaguera, 1993).…”

“…produce AF in rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil and may enter the plant via conducting tissues and ultimately may accumulate in aerial plant parts or in seeds. Aflatoxin plant uptake studies have been already reported in maize seedlings (Mertz, Lee, Zuber, & Lillehoj, 1980), mustard (Ahmad & Sinha, 2002), soybean (Jones, Chancey, Morton, Dashek, & Llewellyn, 1980) and lettuce (Crisan, 1973). In the case of GLVs whole plant or plant parts are consumed fresh.…”
