Abstract: BACKGROUND Metarhizium acridum is a host-specific fungal pathogen with great potential for locust control. However, the slow killing action of M. acridum has impeded its widespread application. To enhance fungal virulence, we constructed transgenic M.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00253-020-10523-0
Abstract: Sho1 is an important membrane sensor upstream of the HOG-MAPK signaling pathway, which plays critical roles in osmotic pressure response, growth, and virulence in fungi. Here, a Sho1 homolog (MaSho1), containing four transmembrane domains and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s42690-020-00306-5
Abstract: The effectiveness of the “attract and kill” approach for the management of Bactrocera dorsalis in citrus orchards using autoinoculation strategy was evaluated in three locations in Senegal (Sindia, Sebikhotane and Ndoyene), between 2016 and 2018.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.16000
Abstract: Conidiation necessary for filamentous fungal survival and dispersal, proceeds in two fashions, namely normal conidiation through conidiophores differentiated from hyphae, and microcycle conidiation through conidial budding. Normal conidiation has been well studied whereas mechanisms underlying… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0244733
Abstract: The entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridum in oil-based formulations (Green Muscle® (GM)) is a biopesticide for locust control lacking side-effects on biodiversity, unlike chemical insecticides. Under controlled conditions, GM-treated locusts and grasshoppers attract predators, a complementary… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/jof8030270
Abstract: Sulfatases are commonly divided into three classes: type I, type II, and type III sulfatases. The type III sulfatase, alkylsulfatase, could hydrolyze the primary alkyl sulfates, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium octyl… read more here.
