Abstract: Abstract Algae cultivation has many applications, however, limiting system contamination is imperative. Algae competitors invading cultivation systems can negatively interfere. Here, we test the potential usefulness of an indole alkaloid allelochemical (gramine) to control invasions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.adk6112
Abstract: The defensive alkaloid gramine not only protects barley and other grasses from insects but also negatively affects their palatability to ruminants. The key gene for gramine formation has remained elusive, hampering breeding initiatives. In this… read more here.
