Ergovaline stability in tall fescue based on sample handling and storage methods [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014 Ergovaline is an ergot alkaloid produced by the endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum (Morgan-Jones and Gams) found in tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinacea (Schreb.) Dumort.) and blamed for a multitude of livestock disorders.

Using On-Farm Monitoring of Ergovaline and Tall Fescue Composition for Horse Pasture Management [PDF]
Toxins, 2021 Central Kentucky horse pastures contain significant populations of tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinacea (Schreb.) Dumort) infected with an endophyte (Epichloë coenophialum (Morgan-Jones and Gams) Bacon and Schardl) known to produce several ergot ...

Influence of Prolonged Serotonin and Ergovaline Pre-Exposure on Vasoconstriction Ex Vivo [PDF]
Toxins, 2021 Ergot alkaloid mycotoxins interfere in many functions associated with serotonergic neurotransmitters. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate whether the association of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and ergot alkaloids during a 24 h pre ...

Tall fescue seed extraction and partial purification of ergot alkaloids [PDF]
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014 Many substances in the tall fescue/endophyte association (Schedonorus arundinaceus/Epichloë coenophiala) have biological activity. Of these compounds only the ergot alkaloids are known to have significant mammalian toxicity and the predominant ergot ...

Morphological, Molecular, and Alkaloid Gene Profiling of Epichloë Endophytes in Elymus cylindricus and Elymus tangutorum from China [PDF]
MicroorganismsEpichloë endophytes are mutualistic associates with grasses, conferring host plants with enhanced competitiveness, improved stress tolerance, and increased ecological dominance. Epichloë can produce any of several classes of bioactive alkaloids, of which
