Using a strain of Claviceps purpurea which produces under submerged conditions chanoclavine, ergometrine and mainly ergotoxine the biosynthesis of ergoline derivatives has been studied. DL-Tryptophan- (ring-2-14C) is specifically incorporated into the lysergic acid moiety of ergotoxine· alkaloids.

Biosynthesis of Ergotamine in Protoplasts of Claviceps purpurea [PDF]
Protoplasts of Claviceps purpurea (ATCC 20102) were prepared in 0.8 m-sucrose containing 10 mm-CaCl2 and 10 mm-MgCl2. Protoplasts could revert to the filamentous state but not after treatment with water. Most of the protoplasts (about 80%) were highly vacuolated and these were separated from the non-vacuolated protoplasts and cell debris on the basis ...

ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea, the necrotrophic fungus responsible for grey mould disease, is a major threat to global crop production. Control strategies mainly rely on chemical fungicides, but resistance development limits their long‐term effectiveness. This study introduces, for the first time in crop protection, the use of DNA aptamers as a novel and ...

Ergot Alkaloids in Wheat and Rye Derived Products in Italy
Genus Claviceps is a plant pathogen able to produce a group of toxins, ergot alkaloids (EAs), whose effects have been known since the Middle Ages (ergotism).

Appressoria are specialized penetration structures for many plant pathogenic fungi, demanding precise cell cycle control. This study unveils MoMtg1 as a transcriptional repressor of MoSwi6, orchestrating MoCYC1 expression during turgor‐driven cell cycle progression to enable appressorium‐mediated penetration. Moreover, a small‐molecule inhibitor ZS1619

Biology, Genetics, and Management of Ergot (Claviceps spp.) in Rye, Sorghum, and Pearl Millet
Ergot is a disease of cereals and grasses caused by fungi in the genus Claviceps. Of particular concern are Claviceps purpurea in temperate regions, C. africana in sorghum (worldwide), and C. fusiformis in pearl millet (Africa, Asia).

Claviceps purpurea is a common pathogen of a wide range of grasses and cereals that is able to establish a stable, balanced interaction with its host plant and is considered a biotroph. It does not form special penetration structures such as appressoria.

ABSTRACT Honeydew, a sugary excretion from sap‐feeding insects, significantly influences plant‐insect interactions. While extensive research has examined honeydew's composition, regulation, and role in insect‐plant relationships, its direct effects on plant physiology and health remain understudied.
