Some peanut cultivars with natural pre-harvest resistance to aflatoxin contamination have been identified through field screening. However little is known about the resistance mechanism which has slowed the incorporation of resistance into cultivars with commercially acceptable genetic background. Therefore it is necessary to identify resistance-associated proteins and then to recognize candidate resistance genes potentially underlying the resistance mechanism. Results The objective of this study was to identify resistance-associated proteins in response to A. flavus infection under drought stress using two-dimensional electrophoresis with mass spectrometry. To identify proteins involved in the resistance to pre-harvest aflatoxin contamination we compared the differential expression profiles of seed proteins between a resistant cultivar YJ-1 and a susceptible cultivar Yueyou 7 under well-watered condition drought stress and A. flavus infection with drought stress. A total of 29 spots showed differential expression between resistant and susceptible cultivars in response to A. flavus attack under drought stress. Among these spots 12 protein spots that consistently exhibited an altered expression were screened by Image Master software and successfully identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Five protein spots including Oso7g0179400 PII protein CDK1 Oxalate oxidase SAP domain-containing
