Comparative genomics of dark septate endophytes: shedding light on the enigmatic lifestyle and biology of DSEs

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Ancestral lifestyle reconstruction across the phylogeny of the 107 analysed fungal genomes. Summary Dark septate endophytes (DSE) are widespread root‐colonising fungi with poorly understood lifestyle and ecological functions. We investigated their genomic traits, sexual reproduction signatures, carbohydrate‐active enzyme (CAZyme) and secondary ...

Effects of an entomopathogenic fungus on the reproductive potential of Drosophila males. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
AbstractWhile mortality is often the primary focus of pathogen virulence, non‐lethal consequences, particularly for male reproductive fitness, are less understood; however, they are essential for understanding how sexual selection contributes to promoting resistance.

Deciphering Role of Endophytes in Plant Defences and Biotic Stress Resilience Across Families

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant families generate distinct repertoires of specialised metabolites that govern their biotic interactions. Endophytes strengthen host plant defence mechanisms and tolerance to biotic challenges by upregulating metabolite biosynthesis, modifying precursor compounds into more potent forms, or by directly synthesising analogous defence ...

Rhizosphere Microbiomes Respond to Plant‐Parasitic Nematode Cues and Contribute to Host Defence

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant‐parasitic nematodes (PPNs) cause major crop losses, while current nematicides face increasing regulatory restrictions and often show inconsistent efficacy. We tested whether nematode‐associated cues activate rhizosphere microbiomes and cuticle‐associated fungi to produce suppressive metabolites that impair nematodes and stimulate host ...

Differentiation of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium flavoviride (Hyphomycetes) [PDF]

Revista de Microbiologia, 1999
The differentiation of a Brazilian isolate of Metarhizium flavoviride (CG 423), a promising candidate for the biocontrol of grasshoppers, was investigated. Conidia were spread onto solid medium (1% yeast extract, 2.8% agar, 96.2% distilled water), incubated at 28°C and observed during 26 h. Germination initiated as conidia size increased from 5.3 (±0.6)

Bioprospection of Tenellins Produced by the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria neobassiana. [PDF]

J Fungi (Basel)
Fungi are known as prolific producers of bioactive secondary metabolites with applications across various fields, including infectious diseases, as well as in biological control. However, some of the well-known species are still underexplored. Our current study evaluated the production of secondary metabolites by the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria ...

Compatibility and Efficacy of the Parasitoid Eretmocerus hayati and the Entomopathogenic Fungus Cordyceps javanica for Biological Control of Whitefly Bemisia tabaci

Insects, 2019
Biological control is an effective method for whitefly management compared to the potential problems caused by chemical control, including environmental pollution and the development of resistance.

Verticillium dahliae CFEM Effector VdCR Stabilises the Susceptibility Factor GhAGP31 to Suppress Host Vascular Immunity and Promote Cotton Verticillium Wilt

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant pathogenic fungi secrete a wide array of effector proteins to manipulate host immunity, including those containing CFEM (Common in Fungal Extracellular Membranes) domains. Here, we identified a CFEM domain‐containing effector VdCR from Verticillium dahliae, the causal agent of cotton Verticillium wilt.

Pathogenicity of Lecanicillium longisporum (Ascomycota: Hypocreomycetidae) on the aphid Cinara pini (Hemiptera: Lachnidae) in laboratory conditions

Journal of Crop Protection, 2014
The aphid species, Cinara pini (Linnaeus, 1758) reported in our previous work as a new aphid on pinus trees for Iran, was described using the classic method and through analysis of COI gene sequence.
