| Abstract/Contents: | "Epichloë endophytes are agriculturally important fungal symbionts that form mutualistic symbioses with cool season grasses. They are known to produce a range of bio-protective alkaloids, peramine, lolines, ergot alkaloids and lolitrems, with anti-insect and anti-mammalian properties that help protect their grass host. Cool season grass germplasm has been obtained from the USDA National Plant Germplasm System and collections made throughout USA, Mexico, Greece and Argentina. This material was screened to identify endophytes that enhance plant performance without having detrimental effects on livestock health. Plants or seed stocks are screened for the presence of epichloë utilizing a high throughput PCR system that is specific to these endophytes. Isolates of interest are cultured from the plant material and maintained as lab stocks for further analysis. Molecular screens are conducted by PCR to characterize the presence or absence of known alkaloid biosynthesis genes, such as those for ergot alkaloids and lolitrems. Tissue from endophyte infected plants is analyzed to confirm alkaloid profiles. Correlation between natural genetic variants and alkaloid profiles can be used to identify candidate genes involved in the production of specific compounds and pathway intermediates. Promising endophyte isolates can be inoculated into plants to determine host range and ultimately the bio-protective and mammalian toxicity potential of an endophyte." |
