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

Swainsonine and endophyte relationships in Astragalus mollissimus and Astragalus lentiginosus.

TL;DR: Findings suggest several possible reasons for differential concentrations of swainsonine that will be tested in future work, including sequence variants of U. oxytropis that exist within populations of A. mollissimus, A. lentiginosus, and Oxytropis and do not correlate with chemotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transmission of the locoweed endophyte to the next generation of plants

TL;DR: It appears that U. oxytropis has near perfect vertical transmission to the next generation of seedlings, however, a small proportion of the progeny had low endophyte/low or no swainsonine, and this characteristic was inherited in the nextgeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of Phenological Stage on Swainsonine and Endophyte Concentrations in Oxytropis sericea

TL;DR: Locoweeds are defined as Astragalus and Oxytropis species that cause intoxication due to the alkaloid swainsonine and endophyte amounts generally increased over the growing season in above ground parts and remained static in the crowns at all four locations.
