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.

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 ...

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

Cyclopropanation of carbon-carbon double bonds in ring d of ergot alkaloids [PDF]
, 2013 Some ergot alkaloid derivatives containing a double bond in ring D have been reacted with diazomethane/palladium diacetate reagent to result in formation of a fused cyclopropane ring.
