The aim of the work was to examine the effects of sub-lethal doses of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) (1+1 mmol/l and 5+5 mmol/l), water activities (0.98, 0.95, 0.93, 0.89 aW) and temperatures (28, 20 °C) on growth, sclerotial characteristics, aflatoxin accumulation and aflD (=nor-1) transcript level by Aspergillus parasiticus RCP08300 on peanut based medium.
