| indole-diterpenes and ergot alkaloids in cynodon dactylon (bermuda grass) infected with claviceps cynodontis from an outbreak of tremors in cattle. | tremorgenic syndromes in mammals are commonly associated with indole-diterpenoid alkaloids of fungal origin. cattle are sometimes affected by tremors (also called "staggers") when they graze on toxic grass pastures, and bermuda grass ( cynodon dactylon , kweek) has been known to be associated with tremors for several decades. this study reports the identification of paspalitrems and paspaline-like indole-diterpenes in the seedheads of claviceps cynodontis -infected bermuda grass collected from a ... | 2009 | 19891432 |
