Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Wherefore the Magic? The Evolutionary Role of Psilocybin in Nature
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.This study explores the evolutionary role of psilocybin, the psychedelic compound found in Psilocybe mushrooms. We provide the first experimental tests of defence and community‐level evidence for invertebrate responses to psilocybin‐producing fungi, revealing significant negative effects on invertebrate locomotion, development, and survival.

History of ergot alkaloids from ergotism to ergometrine [PDF]
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 1995 Epidemics of ergotism occurred frequently in the Middle Ages. They were a source of inspiration for artists and were popularly known as 'St. Anthony's Fire', resulting in gangrene, neurological diseases and death. It was caused by eating rye bread contaminated with the fungus claviceps purpurea.
