Systemic Colonization by Metarhizium robertsii Enhances Cover Crop Growth [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2020 Fungi in the genus Metarhizium (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) are insect pathogens that can establish as endophytes and can benefit their host plant. In field experiments, we observed a positive correlation between the prevalence of M.

Increasing Pyruvate Concentration Enhances Conidial Thermotolerance in the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium robertsii [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 The fungal entomopathogens Metarhizium spp. have been developed as environmentally friendly mycoinsecticides. However, heat stress severely reduces the viability of Metarhizium conidia in the field, which is an important obstacle to the successful use of

Metarhizium robertsii Produces an Extracellular Invertase (MrINV) That Plays a Pivotal Role in Rhizospheric Interactions and Root Colonization [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 As well as killing pest insects, the rhizosphere competent insect-pathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii also boosts plant growth by providing nitrogenous nutrients and increasing resistance to plant pathogens. Plant roots secrete abundant nutrients but

Impact of Metarhizium robertsii on Adults of the Parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata and Parasitized Anastrepha ludens Larvae [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Biological control of the Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens, is mainly carried out by releasing parasitoids, such as Diachasmimorpha longicaudata, and by applying entomopathogenic fungi (EPF), such as Metarhizium anisopliae, Beauveria bassiana, or ...

Draft Genome of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium robertsii DSM 1490. [PDF]
Microbiol Resour Announc, 2023 Metarhizium robertsii DSM 1490 is a generalist entomopathogenic fungus. The mechanisms of pathogenesis of such fungi in insects like termites are not completely understood. Here, we report the draft genome sequence, as sequenced on the Oxford Nanopore platform. The genome has a GC% of 47.82 and a size of 45,688,865 bp.

The Deubiquitinating Enzyme MrUbp14 Is Involved in Conidiation, Stress Response, and Pathogenicity in Metarhizium robertsii [PDF]
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 ...

The SUMO gene MrSmt3 is involved in SUMOylation, conidiation and stress response in Metarhizium robertsii. [PDF]
Sci RepSmt3, as a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO), play an essential role in the regulation of protein SUMOylation, and thus this process can affect various important biological functions. Here, we investigated the roles of MrSmt3 (yeast SUMO/Smt3 homologs)

Observations on the Relationships between Endophytic Metarhizium robertsii, Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), and Maize [PDF]
Pathogens, 2021 Fungi in the genus Metarhizium are entomopathogens that can establish endophytically inside plants and benefit them through growth promotion and pest suppression. Lab- and greenhouse-based experiments were conducted to examine the effects of endophytic M.
