Evaluation <strong>of</strong> progenies from crosses <strong>of</strong> wild Arachis for resistance to Aspergillus flavus: Sixty progenies from<br />

wide hybridization crosses were evaluated for resistance to A. flavus seed colonization by <strong>in</strong> vitro assay. From each<br />

progeny, 60 seeds were surface sterilized with sodium hypochlorite and <strong>in</strong>oculated with A. flavus spores and kept <strong>in</strong><br />

a moist blotter paper <strong>in</strong> a petridish <strong>in</strong> a humid box and <strong>in</strong>cubated at 28°C for 6 days. Percent seed <strong>in</strong>fection at <strong>the</strong><br />

end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 6 th day was estimated. <strong>The</strong> seed colonization ranged between 7 to 52% <strong>in</strong> all <strong>the</strong> progenies evaluated.<br />

Only 5 progenies (numbers. 2929-6, 2929-15, 4367-3, 4368-7, and 4373-15) showed less than 10% seed <strong>in</strong>fection,<br />

while <strong>the</strong> rest showed a susceptible reaction. Un<strong>in</strong>fected seed from all <strong>the</strong> sixty progenies were retrieved and planted<br />

<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> A. flavus sick plot at <strong>ICRISAT</strong>-Patancheru, for resistance evaluation under field conditions dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> <strong>2006</strong><br />

ra<strong>in</strong>y season. Field screened samples are be<strong>in</strong>g processed for A. flavus seed <strong>in</strong>fection and aflatox<strong>in</strong> contam<strong>in</strong>ation<br />

and results are awaited.<br />

Evaluation <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>terspecific derivatives for resistance to LLS: Eighty-four advanced <strong>in</strong>terspecific derivatives l<strong>in</strong>es<br />

were screened for LLS <strong>in</strong> 2005, which had a score <strong>of</strong> 2 to 3 on a 1 - 9 scale (1 = immune, and 9 = highly<br />

susceptible). <strong>The</strong>se were screened for late leaf spot (LLS) <strong>in</strong> ra<strong>in</strong>y season <strong>2006</strong>. <strong>The</strong> l<strong>in</strong>es which had a score <strong>of</strong> less<br />

than 3 <strong>in</strong> <strong>2006</strong>, are presented <strong>in</strong> Table 3.<br />
