A. flavus infection of corn ears in South Carolina [USA] fields before harvest was identified and recorded photographically; the presence of the fungus was generally associated with insect activity. A. flavus-infected seed and characteristic kernel fluorescence were related to the occurrence of aflatoxin in corn samples. Fungal-contaminated kernels routinely exhibited 2 types of fluorescence: bright greenish-yellow (BGY) in the germ margin, or intense yellow throughout the endosperm.
