The effects of human volatiles produced by skin microbiota on Forcipomyia (Lasiohelea) taiwana host preference

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7815-7826, December 2025.
Human skin volatiles influence midge behavior, with certain compounds acting as strong attractants or repellents. These odor differences are largely regulated by skin microbiota, offering insight into host preference mechanisms and potential for improved vector control. Abstract BACKGROUND Midges are widely distributed globally.

Metabolite‐based resistance in wheat varieties to aphid virus vectors: progress and future opportunities

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7276-7287, November 2025.
Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi are major pests on wheat. Natural product‐based aphid resistance holds promise for the sustainable control of these pests. The current literature is discussed, highlighting knowledge gaps and challenges that need addressing. Abstract Cereal aphids, Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi, cause severe yield loss in

Extracting Protoplasts from Filamentous Fungi Using Extralyse, An Enzyme Used in the Wine Industry

Current Protocols, Volume 5, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract The ability to extract protoplasts has contributed significantly to the study of fungi and plants. Protoplasts have historically been used to determine chromosome number via pulsed‐field electrophoresis and for the functional characterization of genes via protoplast transformation.

Production and processing of Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum submerged conidia for locust and grasshopper control

Mycological Research, 2004
Currently, mycopesticide development for locust and grasshopper control depends on aerial conidia or submerged spores of entomopathogenic fungi. In our study, the production of submerged conidia of Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum (IMI 330189) was investigated in a liquid medium containing 3% biomalt and 1% yeast extract (BH-medium).

Direct and Indirect Effect via Endophytism of Entomopathogenic Fungi on the Fitness of Myzus persicae and Its Ability to Spread PLRV on Tobacco

Insects, 2021
Aphids are major crop pests that transmit more than half of all insect-vectored plant viruses responsible for high yield losses worldwide. Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are biological control agents mainly used by foliar application to control herbivores,

Metarhizium fungi as plant symbionts

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2025.
Metarhizium species are entomopathogenic and plant mutualistic fungi that mainly colonize the rhizosphere and rhizoplane with root epidermal cells being sporadically occupied. These fungi utilize plant‐derived sugars and fatty acids to establish associations with plants, which, in turn, facilitate plant’s utilization of insect‐derived nitrogen and ...

Transcriptional analysis of the conidiation pattern shift of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridum in response to different nutrients. [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2016
Most fungi, including entomopathogenic fungi, have two different conidiation patterns, normal and microcycle conidiation, under different culture conditions, eg, in media containing different nutrients. However, the mechanisms underlying the conidiation pattern shift are poorly understood.In this study, Metarhizium acridum undergoing microcycle ...

Comparative transcriptomics and metabolomics provide insight into degeneration‐related physiological mechanisms of Morchella importuna after long‐term preservation

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2025.
Nutrient‐limited medium in combination with avoiding of repeated subculturing during long‐term preservation of Morchella importuna culture was found to be the most beneficial method for maintaining viability and fruiting capability. Metabolic alterations related to sulfur‐containing amino‐acid biosynthesis, DNA repair, and cellular structural ...

A novel luciferase‐based reporter tool to monitor the dynamics of carbon catabolite repression in filamentous fungi

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2024.
We designed a Luciferase‐based reporter for real‐time quantification of CCR via direct binding of CreA/CRE‐1 to a synthetic promoter. This resulted in a versatile and highly responsive tool that is inhibited by monosaccharides and can be used to monitor the state of CCR in a variety of fungal strains.
