Biology, genetics, and management of ergot (Claviceps spp.) in rye, sorghum, and pearl millet.

Toxins - 25 Feb 2015

Miedaner Thomas, Geiger Hartwig H

Abstract excerpt

Ergot is a disease of cereals and grasses caused by fungi in the genus Claviceps. Of particular concern are Claviceps purpurea in temperate regions, C. africana in sorghum (worldwide), and C. fusiformis in pearl millet (Africa, Asia). The fungi infect young, usually unfertilized ovaries, replacing the seeds by dark mycelial masses known as sclerotia. The percentage of sclerotia in marketable grain is strictly...
