Endophytic fungal entomopathogens with activity against plant pathogens: ecology and evolution (2010, background): “(Ascomycota: Hypocreales), have recently been shown to engage in plant-fungus interactions (Vega 2008; Vega et al. 2008 ), and both have been reported to effectively suppress plant disease (Goettel et al. 2008; Ownley et al. 2008).”
Challenges in modelling complexity of fungal entomopathogens in semi-natural populations of insects (2009, background): “There has been considerable research focus on their potential as microbial control agents (e.g. Goettel et al. 2005, 2008; Pell 2007; Vega et al. 2009; Hajek and Delalibera 2009; Jaronski 2009; Pell et al. 2009).”
Transient endophytic colonization of melon plants by entomopathogenic fungi after foliar application for the control of Bemisia tabaci Gennadius (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) (2017, background): “Entomopathogenic fungi are usually applied using an inundative approach, although their role as endophytes has also been exploited to control insect pests in recent years (Vega et al. 2009).”
Fungal entomopathogens in a tritrophic context (2010, background): “outside the host, to others that can include a saprophytic or endophytic life stage and are able to acquire nutrients from sources other than an insect (Vega et al. 2009).”
Fungal entomopathogens in the rhizosphere (2010, background): “As a discipline, insect pathology must attain a better understanding of the ecology of fungal entomopathogens in order to improve the chances of success in agricultural production systems (Jaronski 2007; Vega et al. 2009).”
Entomopathogenic fungi as biological controllers: New insights into their virulence and pathogenicity (2012, background): “FUNGI IN NATURE Various unexpected roles have been reported for fungal entomopathogens, including their presence as fungal endophytes, plant disease antagonists, rhizosphere colonizers and plant growth promoting fungi (Vega et al., 2009).”
A critical review of plant protection tools for reducing pesticide use on grapevine and new perspectives for the implementation of IPM in viticulture (2017, background): “Beauveria bassiana showed a significant effect against spider mites and thrips, suggesting possible applications against grapevine pests (Vega et al., 2009).”
Effects of three endophytic entomopathogens on sweet sorghum and on the larvae of the stalk borer Sesamia nonagrioides (2015, background): “Usage of entomopathogenic endophytes has been proposed as a promising alternative of chemical insecticides and transgenic plants (Vega et al., 2009).”
A review on the genus Metarhizium as an entomopathogenic microbial biocontrol agent with emphasis on its use and utility in Mexico (2018, background): “…04510, México rhizosphere inhabitants (Hu & St. Leger, 2002), as endophytes (Behie, Zelisko, & Bidochka, 2012; Wyrebek, Huber, Sasan, & Bidochka, 2011) and also show complex symbioses as pathogens of insects (Vega et al., 2009), and antagonism of fungal plant pathogens (Sasan & Bidochka, 2012).”
Below- and aboveground abundance and distribution of fungal entomopathogens in experimental conventional and organic cropping systems (2011, background): “…Hypocreales) have shown that some fungal taxa, particularlyMetarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin, are abundant in agricultural field soils, but infrequent in soils of more natural habitats (Bidochka et al., 1998; Chandler et al., 1997; Meyling and Eilenberg, 2007; Vega et al., 2009).”
Can we use entomopathogenic fungi as endophytes for dual biological control of insect pests and plant pathogens (2018, background): “This suggests that these entomopathogens have a promising potential to be developed as biopesticides for multiple purposes in IPM strategies (Goettel et al., 2008; Vega et al., 2009; Ownley et al., 2010).”
