Insect chemosensory proteins as targets in insecticide resistance and development

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2025.
This review addresses the biological and chemical properties of insect chemosensory proteins (CSPs) and presents their functional advancements, not only in olfaction but also in nonolfactory processes, particularly in relation to insecticide resistance.

Functional Divergence of Plant‐Derived Thaumatin‐Like Protein Genes in Two Closely Related Whitefly Species

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 16, April 24, 2025.
Two closely related whitefly species, Trialeurodes vaporariorum and Bemisia tabaci, are found to each possess a plant‐derived TLP gene, but with entirely different functions. This finding of functional divergence challenges the notion that HGT genes maintain similar functions across species and shows that they can follow unique evolutionary paths that ...

Pyruvate Accumulation Is the First Line of Cell Defense against Heat Stress in a Fungus

mBio, 2017
Heat tolerance is well known to be key to fungal survival in many habitats, but our mechanistic understanding of how organisms adapt to heat stress is still incomplete.

Novel TORC1 inhibitor Ecl1 is regulated by phosphorylation in fission yeast

Aging Cell, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2025.
Extender of chronological lifespan 1 (Ecl1), which inhibits the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1), physically interacts with TORC1 subunits and is necessary for appropriate cellular responses to various stressors, such as starvation, in fission yeast. Several functions of Ecl1 are suppressed by Thr7 phosphorylation when nutrients are abundant.

Efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi against Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) under laboratory conditions [PDF]

, 2020
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 10 isolates of entomopathogenic fungi as biocontrol agents against Rhyzopertha dominica. The isolates used were Beauveria bassiana (CEP 545, CEP 560, CEP 567), Metarhizium robertsii (CEP 381, CEP 401),

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

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.

Transcription Factor SsNdt80b Maintains Optimal Expression of SsSNF1 to Modulate Growth and Pathogenicity in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2025.
This study reveals that SsNdt80b regulates carbon utilisation and pathogenicity in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by modulating SsSNF1, affecting growth, development and virulence. ABSTRACT Microorganisms use versatile strategies to facilitate the colonisation of hosts, through remodelling transcription and metabolism to accommodate growth under harsh and ...

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 ...
