Diversification of ergot alkaloids and heritable fungal symbionts in morning glories [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2021 Beaulieu et al. report on the distribution of bioactive ergot alkaloids produced by symbiotic fungi found primarily in four clades of morning glories. Their results identify the repeated evolution of this symbiosis in Convolvulaceae, and a correlation ...

Ergot Alkaloids on Cereals and Seeds: Analytical Methods, Occurrence, and Future Perspectives [PDF]
Molecules, 2023 Ergot alkaloids are secondary metabolites resulting from fungi of the genus Claviceps that have proven to be highly toxic. These mycotoxins commonly infect cereal crops such as wheat, rye, barley, and oats.

Aptamer-Based Extraction of Ergot Alkaloids from Ergot Contaminated Rye Feed [PDF]
, 2014 Ergot alkaloids are mycotoxins which can be found in food based on cereal-crops, due to a contamination of plants by fungi of the genus Claviceps. The ingestion of ergot contaminated cereal crops can lead to a severe poisoning known as ergotism. For food

Introduction to the Toxins Special Issue on Ergot Alkaloids [PDF]
Toxins, 2015 Ergot alkaloids are among the most relevant natural products in the history of toxins and pharmaceuticals. Until the late 20th century, human and livestock exposure to ergot alkaloids was primarily through ingestion of “ergots,” which are spur-shaped or ...

Effects of Heating, Pelleting, and Feed Matrix on Apparent Concentrations of Cereal Ergot Alkaloids in Relation to Growth Performance and Welfare Parameters of Backgrounding Beef Steers [PDF]
Toxins, 2022 As the contamination of cereal grains with ergot has been increasing in Western Canada, studies were undertaken to evaluate the impacts of heating (60, 80, 120, or 190 °C) alone or in combination with pelleting on concentrations of ergot alkaloids ...
