Endophytic entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents of insect pests
Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 6033-6040, December 2024.Interaction between plants and endophytic entomopathogenic fungi. Fungal metabolites and induced systemic resistance enhance the plant's defense mechanisms against pests and pathogens. In addition, volatile compounds emitted by the plants colonized by endophytic entomopathogenic fungi play an important role in recruiting natural enemies of insect pests,

A Functional Analysis of Inflorescence Architecture in Musa L. (Musaceae)
Food and Energy Security, Volume 13, Issue 5, September/October 2024.ABSTRACT Inflorescence architecture underpins sexual reproduction in wild Musa species and productivity in edible banana cultivars. In a functional analysis, we identified the apical inflorescence and lateral ‘cushion’ meristems and the change in flower type as the three primary components that generate inflorescence architecture. Five genotypes of two
