Integration of dsRNA against host immune response genes augments the virulence of transgenic Metarhizium robertsii strains in insect pest species

Microbial Biotechnology, 2021
Summary The slow lethality of fungal biopesticides to insects restrains their widespread application as a strategy of pest control. In this study, unary, binary and ternary transgenic Metarhizium robertsii were created by integrating genes that encode ...

Mr-AbaA Regulates Conidiation by Interacting with the Promoter Regions of Both Mr-veA and Mr-wetA in Metarhizium robertsii

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Conidiation is a pivotal strategy for fungi to resist adverse environments and disperse to new habitats, which is especially important for entomopathogenic fungi whose conidia are infective as fungal pesticide propagules. However, the molecular mechanism

A Novel Gammapartitivirus That Causes Changes in Fungal Development and Multi-Stress Tolerance to Important Medicinal Fungus Cordyceps chanhua

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Cicada flower, scientifically named Cordyceps chanhua, is an important and well-known Chinese cordycipitoid medicinal mushroom. Although most mycoviruses seem to induce latent infections, some mycoviruses cause host effects.
