Relationship of indole alkaloids to palatability of Phalaris arundinacea L.
Agronomy Journal 63:915-919. (1971)
"We screened 411 diverse genotype of reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) for palatability to sheep. Indole alkaloid type and concentration were estimated in selected plants... Either gramine or 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT) + N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) were the primary alkaloids in all genotypes."
