Do plant secondary metabolite‐containing forages influence soil processes in pasture systems?
Agronomy Journal, Volume 112, Issue 5, Page 3744-3757, September/October 2020., 2020 Abstract Grazed pastures are susceptible to N loss from urine/manure additions, which increases eutrophication, affecting the global N cycle. Plant secondary metabolites (PSM), such as condensed tannins (CT) and terpenes, influence silviculture soil dynamics by generally decreasing N mineralization. We investigated whether cattle‐grazed pastures of non‐

Cases of ergotism in livestock and associated ergot alkaloid concentrations in feed
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2015 Ergot-induced disease was known long before Biblical times and has been the root cause for countless human epidemics spanning from the early fourteenth century to the late sixteenth century.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 14, Page 7242-7249, July 2020., 2020 In this study, we addressed the question how insect oviposition preference reflects larval performance in a satyrine butterfly when the host plant harbors a fungal endophyte. Against predictions, we found no clear association between oviposition preference and larval performance.

Ergot Alkaloids Produced by Endophytic Fungi of the Genus Epichloë
Toxins, 2015 The development of fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë in grasses results in the production of different groups of alkaloids, whose mechanism and biological spectrum of toxicity can differ considerably.

Microorganisms, 2020 Fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë live symbiotically in cool season grass species and can produce alkaloids toxic to insects and vertebrates, yet reports of intoxication of grazing animals have been rare in Europe in contrast to overseas.

Toxins, 2019 A study was undertaken to determine the effects of feeding two levels of perennial ryegrass alkaloids (nil vs. moderate) under two climatic conditions. Alkaloids were fed via endophyte-infected perennial ryegrass seed and hay.

Bovine neuronal vesicular glutamate transporter activity is inhibited by ergovaline and other ergopeptines [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2011 l-Glutamate (Glu) is a major excitatory neurotransmitter responsible for neurotransmission in the vertebrate central nervous system. Vesicular Glu transporters VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 concentrate (50mM) Glu [Michaelis constant (measuring affinity), or K(m),=1 to 4mM] into synaptic vesicles (SV) for subsequent release into the synaptic cleft of glutamatergic ...

Exposure to Ergot Alkaloids During Gestation Reduces Fetal Growth in Sheep
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014 Tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh; Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub] is the primary cool season perennial grass in the eastern U.S. Most tall fescue contains an endophyte (Neotyphodium coenophialum), which produces ergot alkaloids that ...
