Vasoconstrictive Responses by the Carotid and Auricular Arteries in goats to Ergot Alkaloid Exposure
A fungal endophyte (Neotyphodium coenophialum) infects most plants of ‘Kentucky 31’ tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) and produces ergot alkaloids that cause persistent constriction of the vascular system in grazing livestock.

226 Serotonin stimulates relaxation in ovine saphenous vein precontracted with ergovaline [PDF]
Abstract The predominant ergot alkaloid found in wild type endophyte-infected tall fescue grass is ergovaline. Ergovaline is a potent vasoconstrictor in livestock that consume it. Previous research has shown that ergovaline can bind serotonin (5-HT) receptors and blood vessels exposed to ergovaline become unresponsive to subsequent 5-HT ...

Variation of Insect Attracting Odor in Endophytic Epichloë Fungi: Phylogenetic Constrains Versus Host Influence [PDF]
Odor is a key trait for pollinator attraction in flowering plants, and many studies have investigated odor evolution in the light of pollinator selection by emphasizing the importance of the plant phylogenetic history. By contrast, little is known on the

Advances in Endophyte Research. Progress and Priorities in Temperate Areas [PDF]
Fungal endophytes infect a large number of temperate grass species, genera and tribes (Leuchtmann and Clay, 1997). The majority of these systemic endophytes fall into the genus Epichloe or the closely related Neotyphodium genus.

It was hypothesized that isoflavones may attenuate ergot alkaloid-induced vasoconstriction and possibly alleviate diminished contractility of vasculature after exposure to ergot alkaloids.

Advanced phenotyping offers opportunities for improved breeding of forage and turf species [PDF]
Background and Aims Advanced phenotyping, i.e. the application of automated, high-throughput methods to characterize plant architecture and performance, has the potential to accelerate breeding progress but is far from being routinely used in current ...

Role of Endophytes in Tall Fescue [PDF]
Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) is the most commonly grown cool season grass used for pastures in Arkansas. Most tall fescue contains a fungal endophyte (Acremonium coenophialum Morgan-Jones & Gams), which causes fescue toxicosis in livestock ...
