Infection with the fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae may alter the allelopathic potential of red fescue [PDF]

, 1999
16 páginas, 3 tablas, 2 figurasRed fescue (Festuca rubra) is a perennial grass used as both forage and turfgrass. Asymptomatic plants of this species are systemically infected by the fungal endophyte Epichloë festucae, which has a beneficial effect on ...

A comparison of four methods for determining pasture botanical composition

Grassland Research, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 260-268, September 2025.
The objective of this study was to determine an accurate and efficient method for researchers and/or practitioners to monitor botanical composition. The evaluation methods included visual estimation (top left), occupancy grid (top right), point quadrat (bottom left), and step point (bottom right).

USING ALTERNATIVE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE RGB COLOR MODEL TO SEPARATE ERGOT SCLEROTIA (CLAVICEPS PURPUREA) FROM THE IMPORTED WHEAT [PDF]

Scientific Papers Series : Management, Economic Engineering in Agriculture and Rural Development, 2021
Sclerotium of ergot is hard fungal body which contain toxic alkaloids to human and livestock. These alkaloids include ergotamine, ergovaline, ergocornine, ergocryptine, and ergocristine.

In Vivo Reductions in Methane and Urinary Nitrogen by Perennial Non‐Bloating Temperate Legume and Forb Functional Forages Produced in the Mountain West United States

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 2, April-June 2025.
ABSTRACT Ruminant livestock production is the greatest source of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) production, largely due to enteric methane (CH4) emissions. While the optimised feed rations used in confinement dairy and beef finishing operations can reduce CH4 emissions of individual animals compared with cattle on forage diets, the profitability of ...

Physiological responses to known intake of ergot alkaloids by steers at environmental temperatures within or greater than their thermoneutral zone

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014
Two studies separated effects of dietary ergot alkaloids from effects of feed intake or ambient temperature on respiration rate (RR), heart rate (HR), surface temperature (ST), rectal temperature (RT), blood pressure (BP), serum hormone, and plasma ...

A Fungal Endophyte Alters Poplar Leaf Chemistry, Deters Insect Feeding and Shapes Insect Community Assembly

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2025.
It is already known that endophytic fungi can influence plant defence against natural enemies such as herbivorous insects. However, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms is still limited. We investigated the influence of an endophytic fungus on the metabolome of poplars and the consequences for the preference and performance of herbivorous ...

Lolitrem B and Indole Diterpene Alkaloids Produced by Endophytic Fungi of the Genus Epichloë and Their Toxic Effects in Livestock

Toxins, 2016
Different group of alkaloids are produced during the symbiotic development of fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë in grass. The structure and toxicity of the compounds vary considerably in mammalian herbivores and in crop pests.

Effects of Toxic Fescue Exposure on Vaginal Microbial Communities of Crossbred Beef Cows [PDF]

, 2018
The consumption of toxic fescue by beef cattle results in several adverse physiological effects such as reduced reproductive success, severe vasoconstriction resulting in hoof sloughing, low body condition scores, hyperthermia, decreased prolactin levels,

Phosphorus fertiliser is associated with reduced grass grub (Costelytra giveni) fitness in Epichloë endophyte‐infected meadow fescue and perennial ryegrass

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 6409-6423, December 2024.
Grass grub (Costelytra giveni) is a major agricultural pasture pest. This study demonstrated a decline in grass grub survival as soil Olsen P levels increased. Epichloë endophytes, such as the MaxR strain, provide protection under different phosphorus fertiliser regimes.

Ruminal motility, reticuloruminal fill, and eating patterns in steers exposed to ergovaline

Journal of Animal Science, 2019
Abstract Fescue toxicosis is problematic for growing steers, causing lower DMI and productivity when fed endophyte-infected (E+) tall fescue. A complete understanding of underlying mechanisms of how fescue toxicosis affects growing steers is lacking.
