In greenhouse and field studies, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) flowers were inoculated with Aspergillus flavus at the involucral nectaries. Bolls developing from early-season flowers had significantly higher percentages of A. flavus-infected seed than did bolls from flowers formed later in the season. Seeds from bolls inoculated 2 weeks after anthesis had the same infection levels as those from flowers inoculated at anthesis. These results indicate that early-season flowers are predisposed to A. flavus infection and that the degree of susceptibility at anthesis is retained through early boll development.
在温室和田间研究中,在棉花(陆地棉)花朵的苞叶蜜腺处接种黄曲霉。与季节后期形成的花朵所结棉铃相比,季节早期花朵所结棉铃中被黄曲霉感染的种子百分比显著更高。开花后2周接种的棉铃中的种子,其感染水平与开花时接种的花朵中的种子相同。这些结果表明,季节早期的花朵易于感染黄曲霉,并且开花时的易感程度在棉铃早期发育过程中得以保持。
