The Known Antimammalian and Insecticidal Alkaloids Are Not Responsible for the Antifungal Activity of <i>Epichloë</i> Endophytes

The Known Antimammalian and Insecticidal Alkaloids Are Not Responsible for the Antifungal Activity of <i>Epichloë</i> Endophytes

Asexual <i>Epichloë</i> sp. endophytes in association with pasture grasses produce agronomically important alkaloids (e.g., lolitrem B, epoxy-janthitrems, ergovaline, peramine, and lolines) that exhibit toxicity to grazing mammals and/or insect pests. Novel strains are primarily characte...
