Phalaris arundinacea
A look at some selected reports

It should be noted that material marked D+M or M may contain either 5-MeO-MMT or 5-MeO-DMT or both. No breakdown was attempted. In the case of Marten et al. 1974 (ref. 5b) all values were generated as mean averages and harvests were not at optimum times.

Abbreviations and definitions

    1: Numbers with this format are USDA clone numbers. [Many are readily available through the USDA. Check their GRIN website.]

    2: Originated from U.S. Regional Pasture Research Laboratory, University Park, Pennsylvania.

    3: Origin listed as "highly diverse source population used in plant breeding and genetic studies at the University of Minnesota, Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics."

    4: Grown in a controlled environment of 21o C days/16o C nights with an 8 hour day length.

    5: DMT was found in only 75% of the individuals arising from this clone.

    6: Material stored in plastic bags, frozen at -12°C, until analyzed in 1969.

    7: Harvested when 20-60 cm tall and still in vegetative stage.

    8: 100 seedlings weighed 10-20 grams.

    9: Unidentified trace alkaloids turned out to be 5-Methoxygramine, 5,7-Dimethoxygramine and 7-Methoxygramine. All were in the whole plant but highest in the roots. Mulvena & Slaytor 1983

    10: Simons & Marten 1971 obtained the clones P.I. 235547 Sweden [USDA clone 19-7] and P.I. 253317 Yugoslavia from either the Western Regional Plant Introduction Station, Pullman Washington or the Northeastern Station, Geneva, NY.
