Various techniques used by crop plants to evade insect pests and pathogen attacks have
been documented. Among these, plant defense strategies induced by endophytic insect …

Trichoderma species have been widely used in agriculture as biocontrol agents and plant
growth promoters. Specialized metabolites, formerly secondary metabolites, are essential for …

Mycoviruses are widely present in all major groups of fungi but those in entomopathogenic
Metarhizium spp. remain understudied. In this investigation, a novel double-stranded (ds) …

BACKGROUND Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are multifunctional microorganisms acting
not only as biopesticides against insect pests but also as endophytes which regulate plant …

Drought stress mitigation by endophytic microorganisms has the potential to enhance crop
resilience. This research investigated the effects of M. anisopliae isolate MetA1 (MA) on …

Agricultural productivity is frequently threatened by a range of insect pests and pathogens
that cause damage to crops. The use of chemical insecticides for control has raised …

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the classification, biology, and
management of Drosophila species (Diptera: Drosophilidae) with a focus on …

Fungal alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) participate in growth under aerobic or anaerobic
conditions, morphogenetic processes, and pathogenesis of diverse fungal genera. These …

The implementation of salt stress mitigation strategies aided by microorganisms has the
potential to improve crop growth and yield. The endophytic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae …

Metarhizium brunneum is a highly effective entomopathogenic fungus that also functions as
a plant biostimulant. It can act as both an endophyte and rhizosphere colonizer; however …
