Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) infected by Epichloë endophytes contains alkaloids that are responsible for toxicosis in many countries. Drought may greatly affect the alkaloids contents of symbionts. The E+ perennial ryegrass was grown in pots with different soil moisture conditions (15%, 30%, 45% and 60% relative saturation moisture content, RSMC) for four months in a greenhouse of Lanzhou University, and then, the aboveground tissues were collected. The levels of peramine and lolitrem B in all plant samples were determined. The results showed that the drought stress significantly (p < 0.05) increased the peramine concentrations of perennial ryegrass but did not affect the lolitrem B concentrations. In addition, the drought stress significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the plant height and dry matter of perennial ryegrass. In conclusion, drought stress affects the peramine concentration in the perennial ryegrass−endophyte symbiont but may not affect the lolitrem B concentration.
被内生真菌Epichloë感染的多年生黑麦草(Lolium perenne)含有生物碱,在许多国家会导致中毒。干旱可能会极大地影响共生体中生物碱的含量。在兰州大学的温室中,将携带内生真菌的多年生黑麦草种植在不同土壤湿度条件(相对饱和含水量分别为15%、30%、45%和60%,即RSMC)的花盆中四个月,然后收集地上组织。测定了所有植物样品中麦角酰胺和洛利特rem B的含量。结果表明,干旱胁迫显著(p<0.05)提高了多年生黑麦草中麦角酰胺的浓度,但对洛利特rem B的浓度没有影响。此外,干旱胁迫显著(p<0.05)降低了多年生黑麦草的株高和干物质。总之,干旱胁迫会影响多年生黑麦草-内生真菌共生体中的麦角酰胺浓度,但可能不会影响洛利特rem B的浓度。
