In the past few decades, the control of pests and diseases of cultivated plants using natural
and biological measures has drawn increasing attention in the quest to reduce the level of …

Fungal entomopathogens have been proposed as environmentally friendly alternatives to
chemical control. Unfortunately, their effectiveness continues to be limited by their …

The genus Metarhizium and Pochonia chlamydosporia comprise a monophyletic clade of
highly abundant globally distributed fungi that can transition between long-term beneficial …

Over the last two decades the molecular phylogeny and classification of Metarhizium has
been widely studied. Despite these efforts to understand this enigmatic genus, the basal …

Phytohormones play vital roles in the growth and development of plants as well as in
interactions of plants with microbes such as endophytic fungi. The endophytic root …

Fungi in the genus Metarhizium (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) are entomopathogens that
can establish as endophytes and benefit their host plant through growth promotion and …

Abstract Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), a fundamental phytohormone categorized under auxins,
not only influences plant growth and development but also plays a critical role in plant …
