Drought tolerant maize genotypes (Huffman, Z08 – 004, Tuxpan, PH 9, NRC 5348, Chunco, Saint Croix, and Arizona) were compared in the field and laboratory to toxin – resistant GT – MAS: gk and Yellow Creole. Kernel screening assays showed that AFB1 levels in inoculated drought – tolerant genotypes differed significantly from those in GT – MAS: gk and Yellow Creole. AFB1 levels in the inoculated genotypes differed significantly from those of FT – MAS:gk or Yellow Creole when grown under drought stress conditions. Pearson correlation coefficients were significant between Aspergillus eat rot and aflatoxin levels. On the basis of the parameters studied, there are indications that these genotypes were potential sources of A.flavus resistance.
