DOI: 10.3390/jof8060606
Abstract: Unique CFP (cysteine-free protein; 120 aa) has been identified as an extraordinary virulence factor in Beauveria bassiana (Cordycipitaceae), a main source of wide-spectrum fungal insecticides. Its homologs exclusively exist in wide-spectrum insect pathogens of Hypocreales,… read more here.
