Endophytic fungi in indigenous Australasian grasses associated with toxicity to livestock.
Grazing of Echinopogon spp. by livestock in Australia has caused symptoms similar to those of perennial ryegrass staggers. We observed an endophytic fungus in the intercellular spaces of the leaves and seeds of New Zealand and Australian specimens of Echinopogon ovatus. Culture of surface-sterilized seeds from New Zealand specimens yielded a slow-growing fungus. An examination in which immunobl...
متن کاملDetection of lpsA Gene in Neotyphodium endophytic Fungi of Grasses in Iran
The lpsA gene, a late acting gene in the biosynthetic pathway of ergovaline, a suspected causative agent for fescue toxicosis in cattle, has been cloned from Neotyphodium lolii, an endophytic fungus of Lolium perenne. In this study, a similar gene was detected in several strains of endophytic Neotyphodium spp. isolated from grass hosts endogenous to Iran using direct and nested-PCR assays. Exce...
متن کاملNew Benefits of Endophyte- Infected Grasses Emerge
Endophytes can provide enhanced drought tolerance, summer survival, and insect and disease resistance to grasses. Endophytes are fungi belonging to the genus Neotyphodium that live in the leaves and stems of grasses and are carried from plant to plant only through seed. These fungi do not cause any disease in the grasses, but under most circumstances they are beneficial to the growth and surviv...
متن کاملToxic endophyte-infected tall fescue and range grasses: historic perspectives.
A historic profile of endophyte-induced tall fescue toxicosis is presented. A chronology of events is presented, beginning with the importance of finding Balansia-infected grasses in a tall fescue pasture in north central Georgia. This initial finding was followed by the discovery that another related endophyte was present in tall fescue and other major forage grasses. This species of endophyte...
