    Notes: Abstract Rhopalosiphum padi L. (Homoptera: Aphididae) is sensitive to loline alkaloids present in tall fescue, Festuca arundinacea Shreb., infected with the endophytic fungus, Acremonium coenophialum Morgan-Jones & Gams. Aphid survival was higher on endophyte-free plants regardless of plant age after germination or age of regrowth tissue after clipping. Survival of aphids on endophyte-infected grass was lower on young tissue but increased as plants aged, although it never reached the same level on endophyte-free plants. Both N-formyl and N-acetyl loline increased as uncut or regrowth tissue aged; however, this was influenced by the age of the plant at the initial cut and the clipping frequency. Although even small amounts of loline cause high aphid mortality, the aphids are able to survive on endophyte-infected plants if the tillers have senescing leaves which contain lower amounts of loline. Preference for senescing leaves may help R. padi avoid plant parts containing high amounts of toxic allelochemicals, thus contributing to higher numbers of aphids on older, endophyte-infected plants.

    Notes: Abstract The occurrence of the alkaloidsN-formyl andN-acetyl loline, peramine, lolitrem B, and ergovaline and the response of aphids to plants containing these compounds were determined in species and cultivars ofFestuca,Lolium, and other grass genera infected with fungal endophytes (Acremonium spp., andEpichloe typhina). Twenty-nine of 34 host-fungus associations produced one or more of the alkaloids, most frequently peramine or ergovaline. Three alkaloids (lolines, peramine, and ergovaline) were found in tall fescue and in perennial ryegrass infected withA. coenophialum, while peramine, lolitrem B, and ergovaline were present in perennial ryegrass and in tall fescue infected withA. lolii and inF. longifolia infected withE. typhina. WhileA. coenophialum andA. lolii produced similar patterns of alkaloids regardless of the species or cultivar of grass they infected, isolates ofE. typhina produced either no alkaloids or only one or two different alkaloids in the grasses tested. Aphid bioassays indicated thatRhopalosiphum padi andSchizaphis graminum did not survive on grasses containing loline alkaloids and thatS. graminum did not survive on peramine-containing grasses. Ergovaline-containing grasses did not affect either aphid.
