Alternative transcription start site selection in Mr-OPY2 controls lifestyle transitions in the fungus Metarhizium robertsii

Nature Communications, 2017
The fungus Metarhizium robertsii can act as a saprophyte, plant symbiont and insect pathogen. Here, the authors show that the use of alternative transcription start sites controls the expression of membrane protein Mr-OPY2, which in turn modulates the ...

Mycoviruses as Biocontrol Agents: Potential Applications for Managing Pests and Diseases of Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus)

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) production faces a wide range of biotic threats. Pests typically pose a greater threat than diseases to oilseed rape, yet both vary considerably across the major cultivating regions. Management strategies often rely heavily on the use of chemical pesticides which may have harmful effects on the environment, thus ...

Microsclerotia from Metarhizium robertsii: Production, ultrastructural analysis, robustness, and insecticidal activity.

Fungal Biology
Microsclerotia (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.
