| Compared with the plots planted with fungus-free grass, the plots containing the endophyte had fewer different plant species. |
|
| It is a type of fungus called an endophyte that lives inside the kernels of corn plants, neither harming nor benefiting its host. |
|
| The endophyte produces ergot alkaloids that have been linked to decreased animal performance as well as toxicity problems. |
|
| The presence of the endophyte in tillers and leaves was tested in infected plants as well as its absence in non-infected plants. |
|
| Since D. vaccinii occurs as an endophyte in apparently healthy vines, only vines known to be disease-free should be imported for cultivation. |
|
| A list of perennial ryegrass and fine fescue varieties and their endophyte content can be found in: 'Turfgrass Insects' from Colorado State Univ. |
|
| This exercise, involving close cooperation between the PVR Office and endophyte experts, has now been completed. |
|
| A blend of non endophyte and low alkaloid tall fescues. |
|
| This second stage involves inoculating seedlings of endophyte-free plants with the candidate endophyte and with reference endophytes and then comparing the level of different metabolites produced. |
|
| These alkaloids protect grass plants from herbivory, but several endophyte alkaloids can poison grazing animals, such as cattle and sheep. |
|
| Phomodione, an usnic acid derivative, was isolated from culture broth of a Phoma species, discovered as an endophyte on a Guinea plant. |
|
| The testing of fungal endophyte varieties has undergone a major reorganization and testing under the new procedure has recently concluded for the first group of candidate varieties. |
|
| Endophyte enhanced Perennial Ryegrass provides improved insect resistance. |
