The entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana has epiphytic and endophytic activity against the tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta (2016, background): “bassiana and that a weak systemic translocation of fungal propagules in non-treated leaves was evident in our assays (Cherry et al. 2004; QuesadaMoraga et al. 2006; Powell et al. 2009).”
Endophytic fungal entomopathogens with activity against plant pathogens: ecology and evolution (2010, background): “On tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and other dicots, as well as monocots, colonization by B. bassiana is not restricted to growth as an endophyte (Ownley et al. 2008; Powell et al. 2009; authors, unpublished data).”
