Ergovaline in populations of endophyte infected Festuca rubra subsp. pruinosa
Festuca rubra subsp. pruinosa is a grass whose preferred habitat are coastal cliffs, a harsh environment where plants grow in cavities and are exposed to salt water spray. This grass species is systemically infected by the fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae and the interaction is asymptomatic.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Weaned lambs (n = 82), born to ewes fed endophyte-free (E−) or endophyte-infected (E+; 1.77 mg hd−1 d−1 ergovaline + ergovalinine) tall fescue seed from d 35 to 85 of gestation (MID) and/or d 86 of gestation to parturition (LATE), were used to examine ...

ABSTRACT Ergot alkaloids (EAs), toxic secondary metabolites produced by Claviceps purpurea, pose food and feed safety concerns for cereal grains, particularly rye and wheat. While EAs are most frequently associated with rye, their occurrence in other cereals has been increasingly reported across diverse regions.

Variation in the expression of ergot alkaloids between individual tillers of perennial ryegrass
Epichloë fungal endophytes of cool season grasses are well known to produce a range of alkaloids of benefit to the host. Some of these compounds are advantageous to agriculture due to qualities that promote pasture persistence (e.g.

Development of the [beta]-glucuronidase reporter gene system to study Acremonium endophyte interactions with perennial ryegrass : a thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University [PDF]
A transformant of the fungal endophyte Acremonium lolii, strain Lp19, containing the gusA gene under the control of the constitutive Pgpd promoter was generated, and assigned the name KS1.

Effects of Endophyte Infection in Tall Fescue (Festuca Arundinacea: Poaceae) on Community Diversity [PDF]
Recent studies have suggested that the presence of endophytes in tall fescue can lead to decreased species richness in the associated plant community. To assess the generality of this hypothesis, a field study tested the effects of endophyte infection on

The growth performance and physiology variations of perennial ryegrass with (E+) and without endophyte (E−) were evaluated after they were subjected to ZnCl2 and CdCl2 treatments. Abstract Background The endophyte Epichloë festucae var. lolii forms mutualistic symbiosis with perennial ryegrass, and their relationship under heavy metal stress needs to ...

Evaluating pasture forage plant breeding achievements: a review
ABSTRACT Forage plant breeding aims to deliver cultivars that increase on‐farm productivity through improved seasonal and annual yield, persistence of yield in perennials, and nutritive and feeding value. Breeding is generally undertaken in highly controlled field trials with individual plants or rows.
