Samples of each grass treatment (each >500 mg fresh weight excluding the roots) were washed and dried with paper towels. They were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen, ground into fine powder and freeze-dried. A method modified from Blankenship et al. (2001) was then used to analyse the loline alkaloid content of each sample. Briefly, the extraction involved passing 100 mg of each sample in 5 ml of dichloromethane/ethanol (95:5) solvent containing 6 mg phenylmorpholine/100 ml of solvent as the internal standard, along with 250 µl saturated sodium bicarbonate. They were then shaken at room temperature for 1 h at 200 rpm on an orbital shaker and left to settle for 10 min before being filtered into 2-ml GC vials. A Shimadzu GC-2010 gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector was used to analyse the filtrates. Hydrogen passed through an Rtx-624 column was used as the carrier gas in these analyses. The retention times for N-methyl loline (NML), N-acetyl norline (NANL), N-formyl loline (NFL) and N-acetyl loline (NAL) were 12.8, 17.4, 18.2 and 18.8 min, respectively.
