horizontal transmission of an isolate of the etomopathogenic fungus, beauveria bassiana kcf102, was examined by allowing inoculated eurygaster integriceps put. adults to mate with non-inoculated ones. in case of susceptibility to b. bassiana, there was no significant difference between the males and females. however, there was significant difference among treatments for mortality of non-inocula...

Surveys were conducted during 2017 and 2018 in the citrus orchards of Punjab, India to record incidence different insect pests their natural enemies. During October-December, Entomopathogenic Fungus (EPF), Aschersonia aleyrodis was found infect nymphs pupae whitefly, Dialeurodes citri on lower leaf surface Kinnow from Hoshiarpur, Ludhiana, Mansa Fazilka districts.The fungus isolated infected mo...

Clonostachys rosea (Link: Fries) Schroers, Samuels, Seifert, and Gams (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) has been reported as a mycoparasite of fungi and nematodes and as saprobe in soils, but this fungus has not been reported previously to be entomopathogenic. Many species of cicadellid leafhoppers cause economic damage to crops as vectors of plant pathogens. In the present work, we report the first re...

entomopathogenic fungi produce a variety of degrading enzymes, including proteases, chitinases and lipases, to facilitate their entry through the massive barriers of insect cuticle. isolates of the entomopathogenic fungi vary considerably in their proteolytic activity and virulence. the proteolytic activity of different isolates has been hypothesized to reflect their virulence toward the host. ...

After heavy rainfalls in late Apr. of 2010 in Tehran, an epizootic occurred amongst hoverflies (Eupeodes corollae Fabricius) population in green spaces of Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection, caused by an entomopathogenic fungus. Infected flies fixed to the upper parts of whitetop (Lepidium draba L.) and small tumbleweed mustard (Sisymbrium loeslii L.) plants with their proboscis and...

Verticillium hemipterigenum (anamorph Torrubiella hemipterigena) is an entomopathogenic fungus and produces a broad range of secondary metabolites. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of the fungus, including gene structure and functional annotation. Genes were predicted incorporating RNA-Seq data and functionally annotated to provide the basis for further genome studies.

entomopathogenic fungi produce secondary metabolites which may bioactively help fungus in its virulence toward insect hosts. beauveria bassiana produces several toxic low molecular compounds in vitro as well as in vivo, the most important of them is beauvericin. the beh isolate of the fungus was selected for beauvericin assay. beauvericin was obtained from surface and submerged cultures of the ...

in the present study, pathogenicity of four native strains of entomopathogenic fungus; metarhizium anisopliae, was studied against adult stage of ixodes ricinus. for this purpose a total number of 180 adult ticks were examined in triplicate. thirty ticks for each strain and negative and positive controls were immersed in 2.4×107 fungal conidia/ml in vitro. samples were incubated in separate pet...

We have established the chemical structure of (+)-bassianolone (3), the antimicrobial compound precursor of cephalosporolides E and F, and that of the furan metabolite 4 from the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana.

Beauveria bassiana strain 04/01-Tip, obtained from a larva of the opium poppy stem gall wasp Iraella luteipes (Hymenoptera; Cynipidae), endophytically colonizes opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) plants and protects them against this pest. The goal of this study was to monitor the dynamics of endophytic colonization of opium poppy by B. bassiana after the fungus was applied to the seed and to ...
