Fungal BiologyMicrosclerotia (MS) are considered one of the most promising propagules for use as active ingredients in biopesticides due to their tolerance to abiotic factors and ability to produce infective conidia for the control of pests. Therefore, the objective of this research was to establish the conditions required to induce the formation of microsclerotia ...

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 315-330, March 2025.We summarize the recent progress in understanding defense mechanisms in specific tissues or sites that are encountered by arboviruses and discuss their possible roles in virus infection or transmission. Abstract Ticks can transmit many pathogens, including arboviruses, to their vertebrate hosts.

Spray‐induced gene silencing to control plant pathogenic fungi: A step‐by‐step guide
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 801-825, March 2025.Spray‐induced gene silencing is an innovative, eco‐friendly technology for controlling plant fungal diseases by applying RNA molecules that silence key fungal genes via RNA interference. This guide explores how to develop safe and effective formulations based on current knowledge, aiming to improve their efficacy under real‐world conditions.

The analysis of Metarhizium robertsii potential as endophytic plant root coloniser, plant growth enhancer and antagonist to bean root pathogen Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseolis. [PDF]
, 2013 The soil-inhabiting insect-pathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii also colonizes plant roots endophytically, thus showing potential as a plant symbiont.

Pest management of soybean aphid and soybean cyst nematode: Host-plant resistance, entomopathogens, and seed-applied pesticides [PDF]
, 2017 Farmers can benefit from tools that are applied at planting and can still manage pest populations throughout the growing season. To meet these demands, some of the tools include host-plant resistance and seed-applied pesticides.

PLoS ONEColonization of plants by fungal endophytes can improve plant growth and can assist in adaptation to biotic and abiotic stresses. The fungal endophytes Metarhizium robertsii and Pochonia chlamydosporia were previously shown to improve hemp growth.

Insect hosts are nutritional landscapes navigated by fungal pathogens
Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 2, February 2025.Abstract Nutrition can mediate host–pathogen interactions indirectly when specific deficiencies (e.g., iron or glutamine) constrain host immune performance. Nutrition can also directly govern these interactions as invading pathogens colonize finite landscapes of nutritionally variable host tissues that must be optimally foraged during pathogen ...

Plant rhizosphere specificity and variability in the insect and plant adhesins, Madl and Mad2, within the genus Metarhizium suggest plant adaptation as an evolutionary force [PDF]
, 2013 Metarhizium is a soil-inhabiting fungus currently used as a biological control agent against various insect species, and research efforts are typically focused on its ability to kill insects.
