Occurrence of Ergot Alkaloids in Barley and Wheat from Algeria
Toxins, 2021 The natural occurrence of six major ergot alkaloids, ergometrine, ergosine, ergotamine, ergocornine, ergokryptine and ergocristine, as well as their corresponding epimers, were investigated in 60 cereal samples (barley and wheat) from Algeria. Ultra-high

Development and adoption of Kernza—A perennial grain crop for sustainable agriculture
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Annual cereal grains account for ~50% of human food calories, but cultivation of these crops has resulted in major environmental and social issues worldwide. For nearly three decades, researchers have been breeding intermediate wheatgrass—a perennial cool‐season grass—to serve as the world's first commercial‐scale perennial grain crop to improve ...

Is the endophyte‐based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome?
Insect Science, EarlyView.We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not associated with changes in abundance/composition/diversity of the insect's bacterial microbiota, but additional endophyte effects on this microbiota cannot be
