Project description:The ascomycete fungus Beauveria bassiana is a pathogen of hundreds of insect species and is commercially produced as an environmentally friendly mycoinsecticide. Genome-wide insight into the infection of the fungi is critical for genetic improvement of fungal insecticides but has been poorly explored. We constructed three transcriptomes of Beauveria bassiana at 24, 48 and 72 hours post treatment of infection (BbI) and of control (Bbc).
Project description:Transcriptomic analysis of LaeA-deletion and overexpression LaeB in LaeA deletion strains in fungus Beauveria bassiana Examination of differential gene expressions by Beauveria bassiana wild type, LaeA-deletion and overexpression LaeB in LaeA deletion strains in fungus Beauveria bassiana
Project description:We investigated the transcriptional response of invasive Mediterranean (MED) species of the whitefly B. tabaci complex (commonly referred to as Q biotype) to entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana using Illumina sequencing technology.
Project description:We investigated the transcriptional response of invasive Mediterranean (MED) species of the whitefly B. tabaci complex (commonly referred to as Q biotype) to entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana using Illumina sequencing technology. Nearly 1,000 of control whiteflies, 48h fungal-induced whiteflies and 72h fungal-induced whiteflies were collected, respectively.
Project description:Fungal entomopathogens like Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) are known as antagonist of insects with multiple functional and ecological roles and have attracted increased attention as biocontrol agents in integrated pest management programs. A microarray analysis was performed to work out fundamental aspects of genes involved in the interaction between grapevine and the endophytic fungus B. bassiana. The results indicate an up-regulation of diverse defense-related genes in grapevine as a response to a treatment with B. bassiana
