Biosynthetic Pathways of Ergot Alkaloids
Ergot alkaloids are nitrogen-containing natural products belonging to indole alkaloids. The best known producers are fungi of the phylum Ascomycota, e.g., Claviceps, Epichloë, Penicillium and Aspergillus species.

Effects of Ergot Alkaloids and Bovine Bodily Fluids on Cytochrome P450 Activity [PDF]
This thesis evaluates the PromegaTM P450-Glo assay (PromegaTM V9800) as a tool for quantifying ergot alkaloid concentration. Current techniques used for detection of ergot alkaloids are slow and expensive, do not detect all ergot alkaloids, or are not ...

Human and animal dietary exposure to ergot alkaloids
The ergot alkaloids (EAs) are mycotoxins produced by several species of fungi in the genus Claviceps. In Europe, Claviceps purpurea is the most widespread species and it commonly affects cereals such as rye, wheat, triticale, barley, millets and oats ...

Exposure to Ergot Alkaloids During Gestation Reduces Fetal Growth in Sheep
Tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh; Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub] is the primary cool season perennial grass in the eastern U.S. Most tall fescue contains an endophyte (Neotyphodium coenophialum), which produces ergot alkaloids that ...

Grass grub (Costelytra giveni) is a major agricultural pasture pest. This study demonstrated a decline in grass grub survival as soil Olsen P levels increased. Epichloë endophytes, such as the MaxR strain, provide protection under different phosphorus fertiliser regimes.

Phylogenetic Analyses Reveal Monophyletic Origin of the Ergot Alkaloid Gene in Fungi
Ergot alkaloids are indole-derived mycotoxins that are important in agriculture and medicine. Ergot alkaloids are produced by a few representatives of two distantly related fungal lineages, the Clavicipitaceae and the Trichocomaceae.

Autophagy modulators in type 2 diabetes: A new perspective
Highlights Basal autophagy provides protection against the development of pancreatic β‐cell dysfunction under normal physiological conditions. Over‐activated autophagy induces the progression of type 2 diabetes by induction of pancreatic β‐cell apoptosis.

Occurrence of ergot alkaloids in wheat from Albania
The occurrence of ergot alkaloids in wheat harvested in Albania was investigated. A total of 71 samples of winter wheat collected in 2014 and 2015 were analysed for the 12 most important ergot alkaloids using liquid chromatography-tandem mass ...

The identification of QTL controlling ergot sclerotia size in hexaploid wheat implicates a role for the Rht dwarfing alleles [PDF]
The fungal pathogen Claviceps purpurea infects ovaries of a broad range of temperate grasses and cereals, including hexaploid wheat, causing a disease commonly known as ergot.
