Toxicity and occurrence of Balansia on grasses from toxic fescue pastures.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Balansia epichloe (Weese) and B. henningsiana (Moell.) were isolated from grasses in toxic fescue pastures. B. epichole, cultured in a synthetic medium, was toxic to chicken embryos. Thin-layer chromatography and ultraviolet absorption data indicated that in submerged culture the fungus produced compounds with the indole or ergoline nucleus.

Epichloë typhina from toxic tall fescue grasses.
Epichloë typhina, a clavicipitaceous systemic phytopathogen, was isolated from two varieties and three hybrids of tall fescue (Festuca arundinaceae). The morphology of the fescue isolates was compared with E. typhina isolated from bent grass (Agrostis perennans). In all isolates, conidia were identical and were typical of E. typhina. In fescue grasses the endophyte failed to produce stromata, b...
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...
متن کاملRestoring Tallgrass Prairie and Grassland Bird Populations in Tall Fescue Pastures With Winter Grazing
Restoration of grasslands dominated by tall fescue (Schedonorus phoenix [Scop.] Holub) to native tallgrass prairie usually requires burning, herbicides, or reseeding. We tested seasonal grazing by livestock in winter, combined with cessation of fertilization, as a restoration tool for modifying the competitive dynamics among herbaceous plants to restore tallgrass prairie communities in southeas...
متن کاملTall Fescue Toxicosis in Meat Goats
Tall fescue (Schedonorus phoenix (Scop.) Holub) is a cool-season bunchgrass that grows throughout the eastern half of the United States and in the Pacific northwestern region of the country. It is estimated that over 90% of tall fescue pastures are infected with the fungal endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum (Bacon and Siegel, 1988; Glenn et al., 1996). Tall fescue is native to Europe and was f...
متن کاملLaboratory production of ergot alkaloids by species of balansia.
Four species of Balansia (clavicipitaceous systemic grass pathogens) isolated from pastures where cattle showed signs of ergot toxicity were grown in culture. Balansia epichloë, one isolate of B. claviceps, B. henningsiana and two isolates of B. strangulans produced conidia in submerged culture during the first stage of a two-stage fermentation procedure. When tranferred to a glucose/sorbitol/i...
