Epichloë fungal endophytes – a vital component for perennial ryegrass survival in New Zealand
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 451-468, August 2024.ABSTRACT Pastoral agriculture underpins the New Zealand economy. Its success in generating export income is due to a mild and moist temperate climate, productive soils, innovative farmers supported by an effective research and development system, and an energy efficient production system based on year‐round grazing.

Using Condensed Tannin to Mitigate Tall Fescue Toxicosis [PDF]
, 2022 Endophyte-infected (Neotyphodium coenophialum) tall fescue, [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Shreb.)] produces ergot alkaloids. Condensed tannins could bind to ergot alkaloids and render them ineffective.

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 8, Page 2865-2878, August 2024.Abstract A trade‐off between growth and defence against biotic stresses is common in plants. Fungal endophytes of the genus Epichloë may relieve this trade‐off in their host grasses since they can simultaneously induce plant growth and produce antiherbivore alkaloids that circumvent the need for host defence. The Epichloë ability to decouple the growth‐

Determination of ergovaline in tall fescue by a specific monoclonal antibody [PDF]
Food and Agricultural Immunology, 1998 A monoclonal antibody (EV5B3) was developed using a conjugate of ergovaline and bovine serum albumin linked at the indole N(1) of the ergovaline molecule. This resulted in an antibody specific for the distal cyclol peptide moiety of ergovaline. As a result the antibody was specific for ergot peptide alkaloids having an isopropyl group at the C(5 ...

Stability and purity of selected ryegrass Epichloë endophytes in New Zealand dairy pastures
Grassland Research, Volume 3, Issue 2, Page 113-122, June 2024.Ryegrass tiller sampling is performed to determine Epichloë fungal endophyte infection and strain of Epichloë, to ensure that sown selected endophytes are delivering pasture production, animal health, and productivity benefits for New Zealand dairy farmers.
