Species Diversity and Functional Composition of Pastures that Vary in Landscape Position and Grazing Management (2005, background): “Recently, nontoxic endophytes have been inserted into tall fescue to capitalize on the agronomic benefit of the endophyte, but eliminate the toxicity to grazing livestock (Bouton, 2000; Bouton et al., 2002; Fletcher, 1999).”
The economic benefits of forage improvement in the United States (2007, background): “It was the strategy of isolating naturally occurring, non-toxic endophyte strains and re-infecting these strains into elite varieties that led to the development and commercialization of the ‘‘MaxQ’’ endophyte by the University of Georgia and AgResearch, New Zealand (Bouton et al. 2002).”
Plant drought survival under climate change and strategies to improve perennial grasses. A review (2016, background): “Future research should identify novel endophyte strains compatible with summer-dormant tall fescue cultivars similar to those achieved for summer-active tall fescue (Bouton et al. 2002).”
Ecological importance of Neotyphodium spp. grass endophytes in agroecosystems (2006, background): “Recent shift from quantitative to qualitative assessment of mechanisms regulating adaptation of Neotyphodium–grass associations to abiotic stresses has resulted in domestication of the endophytes, that is, selection of novel endophyte strains that produce minimal amounts or no alkaloids detrimental ”
Endophyte symbiosis with tall fescue: how strong are the impacts on communities and ecosystems? (2007, unknown): “For example, endophyte genotypes have been introduced for forage grasses that lack the production of ergot alkaloids and consequently lack toxicity to livestock (Bouton et al. 2002).”
