Phylogenetic Analyses Reveal Monophyletic Origin of the Ergot Alkaloid Gene in Fungi
Ergot alkaloids are indole-derived mycotoxins that are important in agriculture and medicine. Ergot alkaloids are produced by a few representatives of two distantly related fungal lineages, the Clavicipitaceae and the Trichocomaceae. Comparison of the ergot alkaloid gene clusters from these two line...
