Insecticidal and antifeedant activities of proteins secreted by entomopathogenic fungi against Spodoptera littoralis (Lep., Noctuidae) (2006, background): “different types of bioactive compounds when they infect their insect hosts (Roberts 1981; Vey et al. 2001).”
Perspectives for nano-biotechnology enabled protection and nutrition of plants. (2011, neutral): “mycoparasitism of Trichoderma with plant pathogenic fungi or entomopathogenesis of Metarhizium to insect pests are sources of effective biocontrol agents such as mycolytic and cuticle-degrading enzymes (ME, CDE) antibiotics (viridian, gliovirin) and toxins (destruxins, bassianin) (Amiri-Besheli et a”
Colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi enhanced terpene production in tomato plants and their defense against a herbivorous insect (2015, background): “Some defense secondary metabolites are produced by endophytic fungi (Vey et al. 2001).”
Biocontrol mechanisms of Trichoderma harzianum against soybean charcoal rot caused by Macrophomina phaseolina (2016, neutral): “such as ethylene, hydrogen cyanide, aldehydes, and ketones, which play an important role in controlling various plant pathogens (Vey et al. 2001).”
Trichoderma: A significant fungus for agriculture and environment (2016, neutral): “These metabolites include harzianic acid, alamethicins, tricholin, peptaibols, antibiotics, 6-penthylα-pyrone, massoilactone, viridin, gliovirin, glisoprenins, heptelidic acid (Vey et al., 2001; Raaijmakers et al., 2009).”
Where are the bioherbicides? (2005, background): “Promising bioherbicide organisms may represent an environmental or health risk if they produce undesirable toxins—particularly avian or mammalian toxins (Vey et al. 2001).”
Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future. (2015, background): “…bound proteases, efficiently produce and release exoenzymes during cuticular penetration, and 1135 generate toxins as the fungus colonizes the host (Vey et al., 2001; Freimoser et al., 2005; Shah et 1136 al., 2005; Qazi and Khachatourians, 2007; Zimmermann 2007a; 2007b; 2008; Khan et al., 2012).”
Review on safety of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Beauveria brongniartii (2007, background): “bassiana with ionophoric and antibiotic activity similar to beauvericin (see Strasser et al. 2000; Vey et al. 2001).”
Interactions between the fungal pathogen Beauveria bassiana and three species of coccinellid: Harmonia axyridis, Coccinella septempunctata and Adaliabipunctata (2008, background): “Beauveria bassiana produces a number of secondary metabolites, such as bassianin, bassiacridin, beauvericin, bassianolide, beauverolides, tenellin and oosporein (Strasser et al. 2000; Vey et al. 2001; Quesada-Moraga and Vey 2004).”
Are There any Risks in Using Entomopathogenic Fungi for Pest Control, with Particular Reference to the Bioactive Metabolites of Metarhizium, Tolypocladium and Beauveria species? (2000, background): “Chemically diverse, toxic metabolites have been described in several fungal BCAs including Beauveria, Fusarium , Gliocladium, Metarhizium, Paecilomyces and Verticillium (Ferron, 1985; Gillespie & Claydon, 1989; Khachatourians, 1991; Hajek & St. Leger, 1994; Vey et al., 2001).”
Review on safety of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (2007, background): “Actually, destruxins, cytochalasin C and swainsonine (not swainsinone) are listed as the main metabolites produced by M. anisopliae in culture or in vivo (Strasser et al. 2000; Vey et al. 2001).”
