Temperature and Plant Genotype Alter Alkaloid Concentrations in Ryegrass Infected with an Epichloё Endophyte and This Affects an Insect Herbivore
Asexual Epichloё endophytes colonise agricultural forage grasses in a relationship which is mutually beneficial and provides the host plant with protection against herbivorous insects. The endophyte strain AR37 (Epichloё festucae var. lolii) produces epoxy-janthitrem alkaloids and is the only endoph...
