Identification and characterization of the ergochrome gene cluster in the plant pathogenic fungus Claviceps purpurea

11 Mar 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: is a phytopathogenic fungus infecting a broad range of grasses including economically important cereal crop plants. The infection cycle ends with the formation of the typical purple-black pigmented sclerotia containing the toxic ergot alkaloids. Besides these ergot alkaloids little is known about the secondary metabolism of the fungus. Red anthraquinone derivatives and yellow xanthone dimers...
