INFECTION WITH A NOVEL POLYMYCOVIRUS ENHANCES GROWTH, CONIDIATION AND SENSITIVITY TO UV-B IRRADIATION OF THE ENTOMOPATHOGENIC FUNGUS METARHIZIUM ANISOPLIAE

Infection with a novel polymycovirus enhances growth, conidiation and sensitivity to UV-B irradiation of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae

Metarhizium anisopliae is a well-studied entomopathogenic fungus that is widely used in biological control programs.The presence of polymycoviruses in this fungus is common, but their effects on fungal development and stress tolerance RAPID MASS BOSTON CREAM PIE are not well understood.In this study, we report the discovery of a novel double-strand

Hydrogeochemistry, Geothermometry, and Sourcing of High Dissolved Boron, Tungsten, and Chlorine Concentrations in the Trans-Himalayan Hotsprings of Ladakh, India

Boron (B) and Tungsten (W) are often found enriched in high-temperature geothermal waters associated with the development of subduction-related mafic to felsic arc magma.However, knowledge about the sourcing and transportation of these elements from such hydrothermal systems is sparse and ambiguous.Being the only active continental collision Table

A fusion protein containing a lepidopteran-specific toxin from the South Indian red scorpion (Mesobuthus tamulus) and snowdrop lectin shows oral toxicity to target insects

Abstract Background Despite evidence suggesting a role in plant defence, the use of plant lectins in crop protection has been hindered by their low and species-specific insecticidal activity.Snowdrop lectin (Galanthus nivalis agglutinin; GNA) is transported to the haemolymph of insects after oral ingestion, and can be used as a basis for novel inse
