The infection process mimics a <a href="/wiki/Pollen" title="Pollen">pollen</a> grain growing into an <a href="/wiki/Ovary_(botany)" title="Ovary (botany)">ovary</a> during <a href="/wiki/Fertilization" class="mw-redirect" title="Fertilization">fertilization</a>. Infection requires that the fungal spore have access to the <a href="/wiki/Gynoecium" title="Gynoecium">stigma</a>; consequently, plants infected by <i>Claviceps</i> are mainly <a href="/wiki/Outcrossing" title="Outcrossing">outcrossing</a> species with <a href="/wiki/Anemophily" title="Anemophily">open flowers</a>, such as rye (<i><a href="/wiki/Secale" title="Secale">Secale cereale</a></i>) and ryegrasses (genus <i><a href="/wiki/Lolium" title="Lolium">Lolium</a></i>). The proliferating fungal <a href="/wiki/Mycelium" title="Mycelium">mycelium</a> then destroys the plant ovary and connects with the <a href="/wiki/Vascular_bundle" title="Vascular bundle">vascular bundle</a> originally intended for <a href="/wiki/Seed" title="Seed">seed</a> nutrition. The first stage of ergot infection manifests itself as a white soft tissue (known as <i><a href="/wiki/Sphacelia" class="mw-redirect" title="Sphacelia">sphacelia</a></i>) producing sugary <a href="/wiki/Honeydew_(secretion)" title="Honeydew (secretion)">honeydew</a>, which often drops out of the infected grass florets. This honeydew contains millions of <a href="/wiki/Asexual_reproduction" title="Asexual reproduction">asexual</a> spores (<a href="/wiki/Conidia" class="mw-redirect" title="Conidia">conidia</a>), which <a href="/wiki/Insect" title="Insect">insects</a> disperse to other florets. Later, the sphacelia convert into a hard dry sclerotium inside the husk of the floret. At this stage, <a href="/wiki/Alkaloid" title="Alkaloid">alkaloids</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lipid" title="Lipid">lipids</a> accumulate in the sclerotium. </p><p><i>Claviceps </i> species from tropic and subtropic regions produce macro- and <a href="/wiki/Microconidia" class="mw-redirect" title="Microconidia">microconidia</a> in their honeydew. <a href="/wiki/Macroconidia" class="mw-redirect" title="Macroconidia">Macroconidia</a> differ in shape and size between the species, whereas microconidia are rather uniform, oval to globose (5×3 μm). Macroconidia are able to produce secondary conidia. A <a href="/wiki/Germ_tube" title="Germ tube">germ tube</a> emerges from a macroconidium through the surface of a honeydew drop and a secondary conidium of an oval to pearlike shape is formed, to which the contents of the original macroconidium migrates. Secondary conidia form a white, frost-like surface on honeydew drops and spread via the wind. No such process occurs in <i>Claviceps purpurea</i>, <i>Claviceps grohii</i>, <i>Claviceps nigricans</i> and <i>Claviceps zizaniae</i>, all from northern temperate regions. </p><p>When a mature sclerotium drops to the ground, the fungus remains dormant until proper conditions (such as the onset of spring or a rain period) trigger its fruiting phase. It germinates, forming one or several <a href="/wiki/Fruiting_bodies" class="mw-redirect" title="Fruiting bodies">fruiting bodies</a> with heads and <a href="/wiki/Stipe_(mycology)" title="Stipe (mycology)">stipes</a>, variously coloured (resembling a tiny <a href="/wiki/Mushroom" title="Mushroom">mushroom</a>). In the head, threadlike <a href="/wiki/Sexual_reproduction" title="Sexual reproduction">sexual</a> spores form, which are ejected simultaneously when suitable grass hosts are flowering. </p><p>Ergot infection causes a reduction in the yield and quality of grain and hay, and if livestock eat infected grain or hay it may cause a disease called <a href="/wiki/Ergotism" title="Ergotism">ergotism</a>. Black and protruding sclerotia of <i>C. purpurea</i> are well known. However, many tropical ergots have brown or greyish sclerotia, mimicking the shape of the host seed. For this reason, the infection is often overlooked. </p><p>Insects, including flies and moths, carry conidia of <i>Claviceps</i> species, but it is unknown whether insects play a role in spreading the fungus from infected to healthy plants.<sup id="cite_ref-Butler_et_al._7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Butler_et_al.-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Evolution">Evolution</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ergot&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Evolution"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Regarding the evolution of plant parasitism in the <a href="/wiki/Clavicipitaceae" title="Clavicipitaceae">Clavicipitaceae</a>, an <a href="/wiki/Amber#Paleontological_significance" title="Amber">amber fossil</a> discovered in 2020 preserves a <a href="/wiki/Poaceae" title="Poaceae">grass spikelet</a> and an ergot-like parasitic fungus.

Like the <i>C. africana</i>, <i>C. paspali</i> also secretes honeydew which is consumed by bees. The bees then create a honey called fic'e (Paraguayan Makai Indian language), which is infused with secretions from the plants and has a pungent aroma. If consumed in high amounts, the honey can cause drunkenness, dizziness and even death.<sup id="cite_ref-49" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>49<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ergot&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Medicinal_uses_of_fungi" title="Medicinal uses of fungi">Medicinal uses of fungi</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Dassel_History_Center_%26_Ergot_Museum" title="Dassel History Center & Ergot Museum">Dassel History Center & Ergot Museum</a>: a major producer of ergot</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Sources">Sources</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Ergot&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Sources"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><span class="noviewer" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Definition_of_Free_Cultural_Works_logo_notext.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Definition_of_Free_Cultural_Works_logo_notext.svg/12px-Definition_of_Free_Cultural_Works_logo_notext.svg.png" decoding="async" width="12" height="12" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Definition_of_Free_Cultural_Works_logo_notext.svg/18px-Definition_of_Free_Cultural_Works_logo_notext.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/78/Definition_of_Free_Cultural_Works_logo_notext.svg/24px-Definition_of_Free_Cultural_Works_logo_notext.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="219" data-file-height="218" /></a></span> This article incorporates text from a <a href="/wiki/Free_content" title="Free content">free content</a> work.
