Multi-locus GWAS analysis identifies genomic regions associated with resistance to ergot (Claviceps africana) in sorghum. [PDF]
PLoS ONEDeployment of resistant genotypes is one of the major components of ergot disease management in sorghum. Identification of genomic regions and candidate genes associated with resistance to ergot is a key step to facilitate sorghum breeding for resistance

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 ...

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).

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 ...
