Pituitary genomic expression profiles of steers are altered by grazing of high vs. low endophyte-infected tall fescue forages. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Consumption of ergot alkaloid-containing tall fescue grass impairs several metabolic, vascular, growth, and reproductive processes in cattle, collectively producing a clinical condition known as "fescue toxicosis." Despite the apparent association ...

Metabolomics of fescue toxicosis in grazing beef steers [PDF]
Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2017 Fescue toxicosis (FT) results from consumption of tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) infected with an endophyte (Epichloë coenophiala) that produces ergot alkaloids (EA), which are considered key etiological agents of FT. Decreased weight gains, hormonal imbalance, circulating cholesterol disruption, and decreased volatile fatty acid absorption suggest ...

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.

Toxins, 2023 Fescue toxicosis is caused by grazing ergot alkaloid-producing endophyte (Epichloë coenophiala)-infected tall fescue (E+). Summer grazing of E+ leads to decreased productivity, associated impaired thermoregulation, and altered behavior.

Asexual Epichloë Fungi—Obligate Mutualists
Encyclopedia, 2021 Asexual Epichloë are obligate fungal mutualists that form symbiosis with many temperate grass species, providing several advantages to the host. These advantages include protection against vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores (i.e., grazing livestock ...
