Investigations into the molecular interactions between Claviceps purpurea, the causal agent of ergot, and cereal hosts

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

The fungus Claviceps purpurea infects female flowers of cereals and grasses, producing an ergot sclerotia (the overwintering structure of the pathogen) in place of a grain. C. purpurea can infect wheat, barley, rye, oats, triticale and millet, detrimentally affecting grain production and flour quality. Ergot also impacts human health directly through the ingestion of toxic alkaloids (found in very high levels in s...
