This study evaluated the population dynamics of stubby root nematodes (SRN) in field rotations with cover crops and the subsequent effect of this rotation on sugar beet quality and quantity attributes. It was clear that the SRN densities under field conditions are influenced by multiple factors, such as the type of cover crops grown, soil disturbance ...

In the past centuries consumption of bread made of ergot-infected flour resulted in mass poisonings and miscarriages. The reason was the sclerotia of Claviceps purpurea (Fr.) Tul.—a source of noxious ergot alkaloids (ergotamine and ergovaline).

Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices
Abstract In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic and environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised in Europe, despite their suitability to local environments, viability for sustainable production and potential to improve diets.

Steer stress response as affected by genotype and transportation [PDF]
Bovine cytochrome P450 3A28 is responsible for metabolizing ergot alkaloids that cattle ingest when feeding on endophyte-infested tall fescue grass. The objective of this research was to determine associations among genotype, transportation, and stress ...

BMC Microbiology / Rhodococcus erythropolis MTHt3 biotransforms ergopeptines to lysergic acid [PDF]
Background: Ergopeptines are a predominant class of ergot alkaloids produced by tall fescue grass endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum or cereal pathogen Claviceps purpurea.

Ergot alkaloids induce vasoconstriction of bovine uterine and ovarian blood vessels.
Fescue toxicosis is a syndrome that impairs growth and reproduction in cattle grazing endophyte-infected tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum [(Schreb.].) Darbysh)] in the United States, resulting in approximately $1 billion in annual economic loss in ...

Feed‐induced hypersalivation in horses from Austria, Germany and Switzerland
Abstract Background While previous reports come mostly from the southern Americas, several outbreaks of hypersalivation in horses were observed in Middle Europe from 2016 to 2018. Objective To describe feed‐induced hypersalivation in European horses. Study design Analysis of feedstuffs.

Modifications of Prenyl Side Chains in Natural Product Biosynthesis
This review summarizes the unique modifications of prenyl side chains involved in natural product biosynthesis, including epoxidation, dehydrogenation, oxidation of methyl groups to carboxyl groups, C−C bond cleavage and oxidative cyclization. Abstract In recent years, there has been a growing interest in understanding the enzymatic machinery ...
