| Abstract/Contents: | "Chewings fescue (Festuca rubra L. ssp. commutata Gaud) is naturally infected by an endophyte, however, little is known about the biology of this association and the effects on host fitness. A hydroponic study was conducted in the greenhouse to determine if endophyte and/or nitrogen (N) form influenced growth, N accumulation and alkaloid production in 'Jamestown II' Chewings fescue. Endophyte-infected and non-infected grasses were established in solution culture for 5 weeks using a 1/4 strength modified Hoagland solution, and then grown for 15d in similar solutions containing 50 mg L⁻1 of N as either NH₄-N, NO₃-N or a 1:1 mixture of NH₄-N and NO₃-N. The presence of the endophyte increased total biomass 54% in this grass, but growth was unaffected by N source. Nitrogen uptake was 58% higher in endophytic grasses, but no differences were observed in N use efficiency with respect to non-endophytic grasses. Nitrogen form affected both N uptake and N use efficiency, with significantly higher values for plants growing in nutrient solutions containing NH₄-N. Endophytic grasses contained two alkaloids, ergovaline and peramine. Grasses grown with NH₄-N had significantly higher ergovaline levels than grasses receiving NO₃-N whereas N-form has no effect on peramine. These results suggest that management factors, including N fertilization, might influence the production of specific alkaloids in endophyte-infected grasses and potentially enhance resistance against insect pests." |
