A neat essay that explores a good bit of ergot alkaloid biochemistry for those interested. Also, this site is an excellent treasure/resource for learning about advanced plant function and physiology. I'm not sure where I found this site, quite likely through the nexus. It just turned up in my bookmarks and I've been eating it up. The website really almost warrants a thread of its own. Enjoy!
