Enhanced toxicity of entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana with bacteria expressing immune suppressive dsRNA in a leaf beetle
C Tu, Y Zhang, P Zhu, L Sun, P Xu, T Wang… - Pesticide Biochemistry …, 2023 - Elsevier
The entomopathogenic fungus is recognized as an ideal alternative to chemical pesticides,
nonetheless, its efficacy is often limited by insect's innate immune system. The suppression
of the host immunity may overcome the obstacle and promote the toxicity of the fungi. Here,
by using an entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana and immune genes dsRNA-
expressing bacteria, we explored the potentially synergistic toxicity of the two agents on a
leaf beetle Plagiodera versicolora (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). We first determined the …
