The Green Revolution led to an increased use of synthetic pesticides, causing environmental pollution. As alternative, biopesticides made from entomopathogenic agents such as fungi have been sought. This study aimed design and evaluate the performance a harvester machine for efficiently collecting spores Metarhizium anisopliae Beauveria bassiana grown on rice corn substrates. spore yield was es...

background: chemical control method using different acaricides as spray, dipping solution or pour-on is routinely used for controlling ticks. biological control agents are favorable due to their safety for animals and environment. entomopathogenic fungi such as beauveria bassiana are well known for controlling ticks. in this study, two iranian indigenous strains of b. bassiana ( b. bassiana 519...

Environ. En!om,,!. 12: 1892-1897 (1983) ABSTRACT We determined the susceptibility of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decem/ineata (Say) to the fungal pathogen Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo)when reared on So/anum tuberosum L., So/anum dulcamara L., So/anum carolineme L., and Lycopersicwn escu/entum Miller growing in both the field and greenhouse. With the exceptionof L. escu/entwn, the ho...

The nucleotide sequence of two clones of Beauveria bassiana in 5.8s rRNA coding gene and ITS regions were completely sequenced. The overall sequence similarity of these two clones is 96%. The identities of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions are 91 % (ITSI) and 100% (ITSII), respectively. Both of 5.8s rRNA sequences have 98% homology.

To investigate gene expression in Tribolium castaneum exposed to Beauveria bassiana, reference genes for qPCR were evaluated. Of these, beta-actin, alpha-tubulin, and RPS6 were not stable. The most stable were ribosomal protein genes, RPS3, RPS18, and RPL13a. Syntaxin1, syntaxin6, and E-cadherin may be appropriate for some experimental systems.
