Production of Microsclerotia From Entomopathogenic Fungi and Use in Maize Seed Coating as Delivery for Biocontrol Against Fusarium graminearum

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
The commercial use of the entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium spp. in biopesticides has gained more interest since the discovery that several species of this genus are able to colonize roots. In general, commercial products with Metarhizium are formulated

The Biological Roles of Class II Hydrophobins at the Cell Wall of Filamentous Ascomycetes. [PDF]

J Basic Microbiol
ABSTRACT One of the most elusive aspects of fungal cell wall biology has been dilucidating the specific functions of most cell wall proteins. Class II hydrophobins are small amphipathic proteins produced exclusively by filamentous ascomycetes. A comparative synthesis of their biological functions across species has been lacking for this specific group ...

Efficacy of entomopathogenic fungal filters additioned with silicon nanoparticles on the mortality of Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems
Background: Tetranychus urticae is considered a very destructive pest, resistance has been documented due to poor management of agrochemicals, which has motivated interest in developing acaricides with alternative modes of action to mitigate this problem.

An extra-domiciliary method of delivering entomopathogenic fungus, Metharizium anisopliae IP 46 for controlling adult populations of the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis [PDF]

, 2010
: Fungal biopesticides have the potential to significantly reduce densities of malaria vectors as well as associated malaria transmission. In previous field trials, entomopathogenic fungus was delivered from within human dwellings, where its efficacy was

Applications of nanocarrier‐delivered RNA interference in agricultural biological control (2009–2025)

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Despite 17 years of development, the effectiveness of nanocarrier‐delivered RNAi pesticide (NDRP) for agricultural biological control remains limited. The successful development of effective NDRP development requires the coordinated optimization of target gene selection and nanocarrier properties, including RNA dosage, multi‐gene targeting, protection ...

Evolutionary trade‐offs between beauvericin production and growth define divergent virulence strategies in Beauveria

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.
