Subversion of Atypical Mucin Traps by a Spore‐Coat Effector Blocks Cellular Immunity in Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Science
While a few effectors of entomopathogenic fungi such as Metarhizium robertsii have been shown to evade insect humoral immunity, the strategies employed by fungi to subvert host cellular defenses remain elusive.

OCCURRENCE OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGI ASSOCIATED WITH AVOCADO (Persea americana Mill.) SOILS IN COLIMA, MEXICO

open access: yesTropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2023
Background: Entomopathogenic fungi (EF) play a key role in the regulation of arthropod populations and biotransformation in natural systems, as well as biological pest control agents in different agroecosystems, including avocado cultivation (Persea ...

Endophytic fungi as biological control agents and their indirect effects on plants

open access: yesActa Agriculturae Slovenica, 2021
The use of entomopathogenic fungi represents one of the most important non-chemical alternatives for pest control in crop production. In addition to their pathogenicity to arthropods, they have many other important effects that favor their use in ...

Conidia of the insect pathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, fail to adhere to mosquito larval cuticle [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2014
Adhesion of conidia of the insect pathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae, to the arthropod host cuticle initially involves hydrophobic forces followed by consolidation facilitated by the action of extracellular enzymes and secretion of mucilage.

The Deubiquitinating Enzyme MrUbp14 Is Involved in Conidiation, Stress Response, and Pathogenicity in Metarhizium robertsii

open access: yesFrontiers in Fungal Biology, 2022
Protein ubiquitination, which is involved in various biological processes in eukaryotic cells, is a reversible modification of proteins. Deubiquitinases can maintain ubiquitin homeostasis by removing ubiquitin or modulating protein degradation via the ...
