The saprophytic white muscardine fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin is a potential biocontrol agent against varied insect pests, commercially available mycopesticide in many countries, and extensively used for pest management. It produces several metabolites, such as antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic, insecticidal compounds that protect pests plant pathogens, with dual-purpose crop protection, new concept disease This pathogen also beneficial to endophytes are antagonistic diseases promote rhizosphere colonizers growth, inducing systemic resistance. induced responses of fungal enhance genes expressed pathogenesis increase the production pathogenesis-related proteins defense enzymes. infects insects by degrading mechanically chemically their cuticles. promotes provides protection pathogens sustainable agricultural production, reduces usage chemical pesticides.

It has been suggested that entomopathogenic fungi can be introduced into plants as endophytes potentially leading to insect control. Here, we sought identify specific strains of the pathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana would form endophytic associations with tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) benefitting host plant growth and/or resistance against pests and pathogens.Tobacco seeds were inoculated six different B. entophytic colonization, growth, pathogens evaluated over a 50 day-period. Although all could colonize seedlings, 90% seedling colonization was seen for four strains. Fungal cells detected in stems more readily than leaf root tissues. Colonization by boosted an increased photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, stomatal trichome density fungal treated plants. Tobacco seedlings colonized displayed significantly tolerance/resistance bacterial pathogens. bassiana-colonized also higher aphids (Myzus persicae) compared untreated controls. shown trigger both salicylic acid (SA) jasmonate (JA) defense pathways, but SA pathway upregulated much JA some tested strains.Specific endophytes, resulting promotion microbial pathogens, pests. © 2020 Society Chemical Industry.

Entomopathogenic ascomycetes (EA) are an important part of the microbiota in most terrestrial ecosystems, where they can be found regulating natural populations arthropod pests both epigeous and hypogeous habitats while also establishing unique relationships with plants. These fungi offer direct benefits to agriculture human welfare. In present work, we conducted a systematic review comprehensively assess range ecosystem services provided by EA, including indirect pest biocontrol, plant growth promotion, defense against other biotic abiotic stresses, nutrient cycling, production new bioactive compounds agricultural, pharmaceutical medical importance. Moreover, EA compatible microbial macrobial biocontrol agents. This identified need for future research focus on evaluating economic value ecological special emphasis hypocrealean fungi. evaluation is essential not only conservation but better regulation exploitation promoting agricultural sustainability, reducing use chemicals that enter environment, minimizing negative impacts crop protection carbon footprint health.

Research on fungal endophytes has demonstrated the ability to improve crop performance and protect host plants against diverse biotic abiotic stresses. Yet, despite exponential growth of this topic, a whole outline reflect relevance extent each study type is missing. Hence, we performed an analysis all available literature expose characteristics limitations research field. Our results suggested that, overall, there still tendency most known models in plant-fungal-stress combinations (ascomycetous fungi, grasses, stress). Fungal dicot or stress, though promising, are quite unexplored. All these data could lead future studies assess less considered factors that might help discern beneficial effects with more accuracy.

Entomopathogenic fungi can adopt an endophytic lifestyle and provide protection against insect herbivores plant pathogens. So far, most studies have focused on Beauveria bassiana to increase resistance abiotic biotic stresses, while only little is known for other entomopathogenic fungi. In this study, we investigated whether root inoculation of sweet pepper ( Capsicum annuum L.) by the Akanthomyces muscarius ARSEF 5128 B . 3097 improve tobacco peach aphid Myzus persicae var. nicotianae First, dual-choice experiments were performed test hypothesis that deter aphids via modifying volatile profiles. Next, tested colonization negatively affects life history traits, such as fecundity, development mortality rate. Aphids significantly attracted odor plants inoculated with A over non-inoculated plants. Plants emitted higher amounts β-pinene than plants, indole bassiana- Inoculation fungal strains also caused emission terpinolene.

Abstract Flowering is an essential process in fruit trees. Flower number and timing have a substantial impact on the yield maturity of fruit. Ethylene gibberellin (GA) play vital roles flowering, but mechanism coordinated regulation flowering woody plants by GA ethylene still unclear. In this study, lemon (Citrus limon L.

Further transformation citrus revealed that starch content increased, soluble sugar decreased 35S:CiACS4 lemon. Inhibition CiACS4 effects opposite to transgenic plants. Overexpression CiACS4-interacting protein ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR3 (CiERF3) N. delayed more flowers. experiments CiACS4–CiERF3 complex can bind promoters FLOWERING LOCUS T (CiFT) GOLDEN2-LIKE (CiFE) suppress their expression. Moreover, overexpression CiFE led early flowers, ethylene, starch, contents were those Interestingly, also bound promoter CiFT.
