A Major Facilitator Superfamily Transporter Contributes to Ergot Alkaloid Accumulation but Not Secretion in Aspergillus leporis [PDF]
Applied MicrobiologyErgot alkaloids are fungal natural products with important roles in agriculture and medicine. We used heterologous expression and gene knockout approaches to investigate potential roles for the product of a major facilitator superfamily transporter gene (

Is the pathogenic ergot fungus a conditional defensive mutualist for its host grass? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 It is well recognized, that outcomes of mutualistic plant-microorganism interactions are often context dependent and can range from mutualistic to antagonistic depending on conditions.

The Impact of Storage Temperature and Time on Ergot Alkaloid Concentrations
Toxins, 2023 Ergot sclerotia produce toxic secondary metabolites, ergot alkaloids, that infect cereal crops and grasses. Ergot alkaloids have two isomeric configurations: the C-8-R-isomer (R-epimer), and the C-8-S-isomer (S-epimer).

Methods of Lysergic Acid Synthesis—The Key Ergot Alkaloid
Molecules, 2022 Ergot is the spore form of the fungus Claviceps purpurea. Ergot alkaloids are indole compounds that are biosynthetically derived from L-tryptophan and represent the largest group of fungal nitrogen metabolites found in nature.

Ergot and Sterility in Bahiagrass: Genotypic and Environmental Effects on Seed Yield Potential
Agronomy, 2023 Ergot disease (Claviceps paspali) and sterility have the potential to reduce seed yield in bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flüggé). Our objective was to determine the genotypic and environmental effects on seed yield, and the levels of ergot and sterility ...

Ergot Alkaloid Contents in Hybrid Rye are Reduced by Breeding
Agriculture, 2021 Contamination by ergot caused by the phytopathogenic fungus Claviceps purpurea is a constant threat to the whole rye value chain. Ergot alkaloids (EA) produced within the fungal sclerotia are toxic for humans and animals and are subjected to strict ...

Immersion of grains in a liquid along an inclined plane [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2021 Grain material delivered from combine harvesters to post-harvest processing points is a mixture of grain, weed and harmful impurities. Toxic ergot sclerotia are among the harmful impurities. Modern grain cleaning machines do not provide the separation of

Resistance of Sorghum Genotypes to Ergot (Claviceps Species)
Agriculture, 2023 Ergot is an important disease affecting sorghum when susceptible cultivars are grown and environmental conditions are favorable. Resistance breeding to ergot is, therefore, of paramount importance to provide effective, sustainable, and environmentally ...
