| identification of immunity-related genes in dialeurodes citri against entomopathogenic fungus lecanicillium attenuatum by rna-seq analysis. | dialeurodes citri is a major pest in citrus producing areas, and large-scale outbreaks have occurred increasingly often in recent years. lecanicillium attenuatum is an important entomopathogenic fungus that can parasitize and kill d. citri. we separated the fungus from corpses of d. citri larvae. however, the sound immune defense system of pests makes infection by an entomopathogenic fungus difficult. here we used rna sequencing technology (rna-seq) to build a transcriptome database for d. citri ... | 2016 | 27644092 |
| naturally occurring entomopathogenic fungi infecting stored grain insect species in punjab, pakistan. | the occurrence of entomopathogenic fungi isolated from stored grain insect pests sampled from various geographical regions of punjab, pakistan, was investigated. in total, 25,720 insects from six different species were evaluated, and 195 isolates from 24 different fungal species were recovered. these included the ascomycetes beauveria bassiana sensu lato (balsamo) vuillemin (hypocreales: clavicipitaceae), metarhizium anisopliae sensu lato (metschnikoff) sorokin (hypocreales: clavicipitaceae), pu ... | 2014 | 25480970 |
| laboratory and field evaluations of entomopathogenic lecanicillium attenuatum cnu-23 for control of green peach aphid (myzus persicae). | an entomopathogenic fungus was isolated from an infected aphid. the isolate conformed most closely to lecanicillium attenuatum cbs 402.78 (aj292434) based on the internal transcribed spacer (its) region of its 18s rdna, and thus was designated l. attenuatum cnu-23. laboratory and field evaluations of cnu-23 blastospores were carried out for the control of green peach aphids. the laboratory evaluations of cnu-23 revealed an aphid mortality of about 80% with an estimated lt50 of 3.72 days after th ... | 2008 | 19131693 |
| morphological, molecular and virulence characterization of three lencanicillium species infecting asian citrus psyllids in huangyan citrus groves. | citrus greening or huanglongbing (hlb) is caused by the infection of candidatus liberibacter spp. in citrus plants. since asian citrus psyllid is the primary vector of this bacterial pathogen, the spread of hlb can be mitigated by suppressing asian citrus psyllid populations in citrus groves using entomopathogens. to expand the current data on entomopathogens infecting asian citrus psyllids, we isolated and characterized three different entomopathogens. strains zjlsp07, zjla08, and zjlp09 infect ... | 2015 | 25593036 |
| potential of native beauveria pseudobassiana strain for biological control of pine wood nematode vector monochamus galloprovincialis. | three entomopathogenic fungal strains, isaria farinosa (holmsk.) fr., lecanicillium attenuatum (zare & w. games) and beauveria pseudobassiana (bals.) vuill. were isolated in spain from naturally infected monochamus galloprovincialis (olivier) (coleoptera: cerambycidae), the european vector of pine wilt disease (pwd). this is the first time that these entomopathogenic fungi have been isolated from m. galloprovincialis beetles. assays showed the b. pseudobassiana eabps 11/01-mg strain to be highly ... | 2015 | 26283466 |
| genetic improvement of the nematicidal fungus lecanicillium attenuatum against heterodera glycines by expression of the beauveria bassiana cdep1 protease gene. | lecanicillium attenuatum is an important nematophagous fungus with potential as a biopesticide against plant-parasitic nematodes. the pr1a-like cuticle-degrading protease (cdep1) gene originating from the entomopathogenic fungus beauveria bassiana was transformed into the nematophagous fungus l. attenuatum using a polyethylene-glycol mediated protoplast-based transformation system. protease activity was increased 0.64- to 1.63-fold 2-10d after growth in the transformed l. attenuatum. inhibition ... | 2016 | 27342597 |
