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
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:This study was aimed at highlighting the endophytic to the saprophytic adaptive plasticity of B. bassiana. Thus the objective was to elucidate and compare the transcriptome of B. bassiana the fungi under endophytic, saprophytic and basal conditions.
Project description:Ssk1-type response regulator proteins are the core elements of histidine-to-aspartate systems that mediate fungal stress tolerance, a determinant to the biocontrol potential of fungal entomopathogens. We characterized for the first time the functions of Beauveria bassiana Ssk1 (Bbssk1) by analyzing multi-phenotypic changes in DBbssk1 and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the digital gene expression (DGE) libraries of DBbssk1 and wild-type constructed under osmotic stress. The results revealed 1003 DEGs, of which many associated with conidiation, xenotics transport, cell wall integrity, and protein and carbohydrate metabolism were greatly down-regulated. Total RNA obtained from Bbssk1 disruption mutant subjected to 0.5 M NaCl for 30 minutes compared to the wild type strain under the same stress treatment.
