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

Frontiers 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 ...

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

Acta 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 ...

Antimicrobial Volatiles of the Insect Pathogen Metarhizium brunneum

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Fungal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) represent promising candidates for biopesticide fumigants to control crop pests and pathogens. Herein, VOCs produced using three strains of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum were identified via GC ...

A M35 family metalloprotease is required for fungal virulence against insects by inactivating host prophenoloxidases and beyond

Virulence, 2020
A diverse family of metalloproteases (MPs) is distributed in eukaryotes. However, the functions of MPs are still understudied. We report that seven MPs belonging to the M35 family are encoded in the genome of the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium ...

The effect of climate variability in the efficacy of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridum against the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria

Scientific Reports, 2022
Despite substantial efforts to control locusts they remain periodically a major burden in Africa, causing severe yield loss and hence loss of food and income. Distribution maps indicating the value of the basic reproduction number R0 was used to identify
