Resistance to solar ultraviolet (UV) irradiation is crucial for field‐persistent control efficacies
of fungal formulations against arthropod pests, because their active ingredients are …

Phytophthora infestans (P. infestans) is the causal agent of potato late blight, which caused
the devastating Irish Potato Famine during 1845-1852. Until now, potato late blight is still the …

Ca2+, as a second messenger in cells, enables organisms to adapt to different
environmental stresses by rapidly sensing and responding to external stimuli. In recent …

The progress in research on the interactions between Metarhizium spp. and locusts has
improved our understanding of the interactions between fungal infection and host immunity …

Formulated conidia of insect-pathogenic fungi, such as Beauveria and Metarhizium, serve

Sour rot caused by Geotrichum citri-aurantii is one of the most important diseases leading to
postharvest loss of Citrus reticulate. In this study, the antifungal activity of MTE-1, a natural …

Ca 2+/calcineurin signaling pathway is crucial in regulating growth, stress response and
pathogenicity of phytopathogenic fungi. However, there is little information about the …

Locusts (Locusta migratoria) are one of the most destructive insect pests worldwide.
Entomopathogenic fungi can infect and kill locusts, with Metarhizium acridum having …

The calcineurin-CRZ1 signaling pathway is conserved from yeasts to humans, and is
involved in survival, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress conditions, virulence, and drug …
