festuca argentina/necrosis

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether Mediterranean tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh. (syn Festuca arundinacea)) infected with selected fungal endophytes (Epichloë coenophiala (formerly Neotyphodium coenophialum)) caused equine fescue oedema when grown in New Zealand, and to examine the

Taking ambient environmental O3(40 nmol·mol-1) as control, the study was conducted to assess the impact of elevated O3(80 and 160 nmol·mol-1) on the growth, subcellular structure and reactive oxygen metabolism of turf-type Festuca arundinace in open top-chambers (OTCs). The results showed that under

The 1st outbreak of fescue toxicosis in South Africa was recently confirmed in a Brahman herd at Perdekop, near Standerton, in Mpumalanga province, South Africa. Within 3 weeks of being placed on a fescue pasture in mid-winter, 50 of 385 cattle developed lameness and/or necrosis of the tail. The

Two grass species, Festuca rubra (sown) and Calamagrostis epigejos (naturally recolonised), were studied at two fly ash deposit lagoons, weathered 5 (L1) and 13 years (L2). Both species were assessed in terms of their invasive ability, photosynthetic efficiency, trace elements accumulation, and

Tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb .), a well adapted perennial grass grown in the transition zone of the U.S., frequently produces toxic symptoms and(or) reduced animal performance. Specific syndromes associated with tall fescue include fescue foot, summer syndrome and fat necrosis. Summer

Fescue toxicosis in cattle occurs as a result of consumption of ergot alkaloids in endophyte-infected (E+, Neotyphodium coenophialum) tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea). The condition is characterized by pyrexia, decreased weight gains, rough hair coats, and decreased calving rates. The objective of

Tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb) is a turf grass species which is widely used for rhizoremediation of organic contaminants and shows notable prospects in heavy metal phytoremediation. In this study, different concentrations of cadmium ion (Cd2+) were applied to study toxic effects of Cd2+
