Ergot resistance in sorghum in relation to flowering, inoculation technique and disease development [PDF]
, 1995 Ergot is an important disease of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) in parts of Africa and Asia. Studies were conducted to determine the relationship between flowering biology and ergot infection, and to develop an artificial field-screening technique to identify

Biology, Genetics, and Management of Ergot (Claviceps spp.) in Rye, Sorghum, and Pearl Millet
Toxins, 2015 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).

Effect of ergot on host fitness.
, 2013 Parameter space where ergot infection has a positive (below the lines) or negative (above the lines) net effect on host fitness. β = relative loss of seeds due to ergot infection, d = protective effect of ergot infection, hα = cost of herbivory.

Genetics, Genomics and Evolution of Ergot Alkaloid Diversity
Toxins, 2015 The ergot alkaloid biosynthesis system has become an excellent model to study evolutionary diversification of specialized (secondary) metabolites. This is a very diverse class of alkaloids with various neurotropic activities, produced by fungi in several

Chronic ergot toxicity: A rare cause of lower extremity ischemia
, 2000 Chronic ergot toxicity is a rare cause of lower extremity ischemia. The cornerstone of therapy in ergot toxicity is to discontinue the use of caffeine, cigarettes, and all ergot-containing medications.

Controlling a structural branch point in ergot alkaloid biosynthesis
, 2010 The ergot alkaloids are a diverse class of fungal-derived indole alkaloid natural products with potent pharmacological activities. The biosynthetic intermediate chanoclavine-I aldehyde 1 represents a branch point in ergot biosynthesis.

, 2008 The fungus called ergot, which forms on wheat and other plants, can cause horrendous symptoms when consumed by humans?epileptic convulsions and gangrene of the limbs, which it turns out are the result of ergot's vasoconstrictor properties. In 1951, ergot-
