Aspergillus flavus and A. versicolor were both shown to be weak pathogens of developing pistachio fruits, producing aflatoxin and sterigmatocystin, respectively. Aflatoxin concentrations approached those reported in cereal and legume seeds. Fungus lesions on the first hulls were followed by invasion of seeds despite the sclerified shell. Infections and mycotoxins present before harvest would presumably lead to further build-up after harvest if drying was slow or storage was under high humidity.
黄曲霉和杂色曲霉均被证明是开心果发育过程中的弱病原菌,分别产生黄曲霉毒素和柄曲霉素。黄曲霉毒素浓度接近谷物和豆类种子中报道的浓度。尽管外壳硬化,但最初果壳上出现真菌损伤后,种子仍会受到侵染。如果干燥缓慢或贮藏湿度高,收获前存在的感染和霉菌毒素可能会导致收获后进一步积累。
