Phalaris (Phalaris aquatica L.) is a temperate perennial grass which occasionally causes toxicity in livestock. Immunoassays (ELISAs) were used to measure the level of the dimethyltryptamine and related alkaloid group (TRYP) and the tyramine-related group of alkaloids (TYR) in cultivars, breeding populations and wild accessions of phalaris. Herbage was sampled from grazed swards or spaced...
