Journal ArticleDOI

Bioactive alkaloids in vertically transmitted fungal endophytes

TL;DR: With future research, vertically transmitted fungi from diverse clades with narrow host ranges and that produce bioactive compounds are likely to be found as important mutualists in additional plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relationship between the endophyte Embellisia spp. and the toxic alkaloid swainsonine in major locoweed species (Astragalus and Oxytropis).

TL;DR: A survey of the major locoweeds from areas where locoweed poisoning has occurred and found species found to contain the fungal endophyte and produce substantial amounts of swainsonine were A. mollissimus, A. cibarius, and O. sericea.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of the alkaloid swainsonine by a fungal endosymbiont of the Ascomycete order Chaetothyriales in the host Ipomoea carnea.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that I. carnea plants are infected with a fungal endosymbiont that was cultured from its seeds and which produced swainsonine in pure culture but not the calystegines, which are glycosidase inhibitors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Production of the alkaloid swainsonine by a fungal endophyte in the host Swainsona canescens.

TL;DR: Swainsona canescens is shown to harbor an endophyte that is closely related to Undifilum species previously cultured from locoweeds of North America and Asia, and was characterized as an UndifILum species using morphological and phylogenetic analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Norditerpene alkaloid concentrations in tissues and floral rewards of larkspurs and impacts on pollinators

TL;DR: It is suggested that nectar with low alkaloid concentrations may be beneficial to plant fitness by limiting adverse effects on pollinator activity and optimal defense theory.
