Genome-wide identification of lipid transfer proteins in Sorghum bicolor and discovery of flower-specific promoters [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSorghum bicolor is a drought- and heat-tolerant cereal widely cultivated in arid regions. However, like other important grasses, it is susceptible to ergot disease caused by Claviceps species, which infect ovary tissues and reduce grain yield.

Pleomorphic conidiation in Claviceps [PDF]
Mycological Research, 2004 Types of asexual sporulation in 17 Claviceps species and the closely related Corallocytostroma ornicopreoides were revised in relation to the phylogeny of clavicipitaceous fungi. We observed: (1) enteroblastic conidiation from branched phialidic conidiophores typical of the genus (anamorph Sphacelia) in all species including Corallocytostroma; (2 ...
