Research progress on the contamination hazards and control of ergot alkaloids
Ergot alkaloids are a type of alkaloids secondary metabolic produced by Claviceps or Epichloë spp infected with black barley, wheat, rye, rice, corn, oats, and various other gramineous plants. Long-term exposure to ergot alkaloids can result in extensive

Arterial Responses to Acute Low-Level Ergot Exposure in Hereford Cows
Ergot alkaloids are toxic secondary metabolites produced by the fungus Claviceps purpurea that contaminate cereal grains. Current Canadian standards allow 2 to 3 parts per million of ergot alkaloids in animal feed.

Genetics, Genomics and Evolution of Ergot Alkaloid Diversity
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

Ergot alkaloids: synthetic approaches to lysergic acid and clavine alkaloids
Ergot alkaloids are among the most important pharmaceuticals and natural toxins. Significant progress has been achieved in recent years on the research of ergot alkaloids. In this review, we re-introduced the history of ergot alkaloids.

Occurrence of Ergot and Ergot Alkaloids in Western Canadian Wheat and Other Cereals
A new method was developed to analyze 10 ergot alkaloids in cereal grains. Analytes included both “ine” and “inine” type ergot alkaloids. Validation of the method showed it performed with good accuracy and precision and that minor enhancement due to ...

Production of Ergot Alkaloids by Fermentation Method
Capacity of three strains of the fungus, Claviceps purpurea to produce ergot alkaloids from synthetic media has been investigated. Of the three strains studied, Claviceps purpurea received from Prairie Regional Laboratory, Saskatoon, Canada gave high ...

Ergot Alkaloid Contents in Hybrid Rye are Reduced by Breeding
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 ...
