Efficacy of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae against wheat aphid
In the recent study, the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae against wheat aphid species in field conditions to check the insecticidal effect of entomophathogenic fungi were used to evaluate their pathogenecity against ...

Cell walls are involved in manifold aspects of fungi maintenance. For several fungi, chitin synthesis, degradation and recycling are essential processes required for cell wall biogenesis; notably, the activity of β-N-acetylglucosaminidases (NAGases) must

Molecular diversity of the Metarhizium anisopliae lineage in an agricultural field [PDF]
Entomopathogenic fungal isolates identified by morphology as Metarhizium anisopliae may belong to different species when identified by molecular characters. We isolated Metarhizium spp. from an experimental agricultural field under both conventional and

Harnessing entomopathogenic fungi: A meta‐analysis on their role as plant growth promoters
Our meta‐analysis highlights the potential of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) as sustainable alternatives to chemical pesticides and fertilisers. By promoting plant growth and reducing reliance on agrochemicals, EPF can support healthier crops, minimise environmental contamination and improve profitability within food production systems.

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

Sustainable control of Dalbulus maidis: A field study with entomopathogenic fungi
Dalbulus maidis, a plant pathogen vector, poses a serious threat to maize production and food security. We investigated the potential synergistic effects between formulations based on entomopathogenic fungi and corn hybrids with varying resistance to maize stunt complex and Maize rayado fino virus. The combined management of M. anisopliae + B. bassiana

Morphological, Pathogenic and Toxigenic Variability in the Rice Sheath Rot Pathogen Sarocladium Oryzae [PDF]
Sheath rot is an emerging rice disease that leads to considerable yield losses. The main causal agent is the fungus Sarocladium oryzae. This pathogen is known to produce the toxins cerulenin and helvolic acid, but their role in pathogenicity has not been

Protein kinases in the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae [PDF]
Summary: Cyclic AMP (cAMP)- and Ca2+-dependent protein kinase activities of the fungus Metarhizium anisopliae were sought in extracts of ungerminated conidia, germinating conidia and mycelium, as well as in purified plasma membranes from mycelium. Ungerminated conidia contained a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase capable of phosphorylating ...

Ultraviolet B Irradiation of Diplocarpon rosae for the Control of Black Spot Disease in Roses
ABSTRACT Ultraviolet‐B (UV‐B) irradiation was evaluated as a non‐chemical strategy for suppressing black spot disease in roses (Rosa × hybrida) caused by Diplocarpon rosae. Daily 1‐h night‐time UV‐B irradiation significantly reduced fungal colony growth on potato dextrose agar, resulting in colony diameters that were 20.4%–37.7% of the non‐UV control ...
