The APSES Gene MrStuA Regulates Sporulation in Metarhizium robertsii

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The APSES family is a unique family of transcription factors with a basic helix-loop-helix structure (APSES: Asm1p, Phd1p, Sok2p, Efg1p, and StuAp), which are key regulators of cell development and sporulation-related processes. However, the functions of the APSES family of genes in the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii have not been ...

Effects of copper nanoparticles synthesized from the entomopathogen Metarhizium robertsii against the dengue vector Aedes albopictus (Skuse, 1894). [PDF]

PLoS One
Aedes albopictus, known as the Asian tiger mosquito, is a significant vector for dengue fever, chikungunya, zika virus, yellow fever. Current control methods rely on chemical insecticides, which face challenges such as resistance, environmental harm, and

Water Stress and Black Cutworm Feeding Modulate Plant Response in Maize Colonized by <i>Metarhizium robertsii</i>. [PDF]

Pathogens
Plants face many environmental challenges and have evolved different strategies to defend against stress. One strategy is the establishment of mutualistic associations with endophytic microorganisms which contribute to plant defense and promote plant ...

Unlocking the Biocontrol Potential of Indigenous Soil Fungi: High-Performing Strains of <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> and <i>Metarhizium robertsii</i> Against the Tomato Leafminer <i>Tuta absoluta</i>. [PDF]

J Fungi (Basel)
The invasive tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta, poses a severe global threat to solanaceous crops, necessitating sustainable biocontrol solutions. Through systematic bioprospecting across several Moroccan soils, we constructed a novel library of indigenous

Assessment of bio-formulations of indigenous strains of Bacillus thuringiensis, Metarhizium robertsii and Metarhizium majus for management of the rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes rhinoceros L., in field

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2023
Background Among all the coconut pests, rhinoceros beetle causes acute and serious damage to coconut palm. Management of this pest is very difficult due to its nocturnal activity, and also, it damages the emerging leaf inside the bud.

The Sugar Transporter MST1 Is Involved in Colonization of Rhizosphere and Rhizoplane by Metarhizium robertsii

mSystems, 2021
It is widely recognized that plant-symbiotic fungi are supported by photosynthates; however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying the utilization of plant-derived sugars by rhizospheric fungi.

A novel cascade allows Metarhizium robertsii to distinguish cuticle and hemocoel microenvironments during infection of insects. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2021
Pathogenic fungi precisely respond to dynamic microenvironments during infection, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium robertsii is a representative fungus in which to study broad themes of ...

THE EVOLUTIONARY TRAJECTORY OF METARHIZIUM ROBERTSII ENDOPHYTIC CAPABILITY AND ENTOMOPATHOGENICITY

Metarhizium fungi are a keystone genus of soil-inhabiting ascomycetes providing essential ecosystem services as saprotrophs, plant symbionts and insect pathogens, among other roles. Recent studies have looked at how Metarhizium niches have evolved and shaped genome evolution over large time scales within the Metarhizium genus.

A High-Throughput Gene Disruption Methodology for the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium robertsii [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Systematic gene disruption is a direct way to interrogate a fungal genome to functionally characterize the full suite of genes involved in various biological processes. Metarhizium robertsii is extraordinarily versatile, and it is a pathogen of arthropods, a saprophyte and a beneficial colonizer of rhizospheres. Thus, M.
