Volatile Organic Compounds Produced by with Antifungal Properties against .

Managing plant diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi, such as anthracnose caused by species, is challenging. Different methods have been used to identify compounds with antibiotic properties. strains are a source of novel molecules with antifungal properties, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), whose production is influenced by the nutrient content of the medium.

multifunctional allies for plant growth and health in saline soils: recent advances and future challenges.

Saline soils pose significant challenges to global agricultural productivity, hindering crop growth and efficiency. Despite various mitigation strategies, the issue persists, underscoring the need for innovative and sustainable solutions. One promising approach involves leveraging microorganisms and their plant interactions to reclaim saline soils and bolster crop yields.

Volatile Semiochemicals Emitted by Modulate Larval Feeding Behavior and Food Choice Preference in (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).

is an entomopathogenic fungus that parasitizes and kills insects. The role of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by acting as semiochemicals during its interaction with lepidopterans is poorly explored. Here, we studied the effect of VOCs from and 3-methylbutanol (as a single compound) on the feeding behavior of L2 larvae of in sorghum plants.

Volatile Fingerprint Mediates Yeast-to-Mycelial Conversion in Two Strains of Exhibiting Varied Virulence.

is a dimorphic and entomopathogenic fungus with different ecological roles in nature. In pathogenic fungi, yeast-to-mycelial conversion, which is controlled by environmental factors, is required for virulence. Here, we studied the effects of different stimuli on the morphology of two strains and compared the toxicities of culture filtrates.

Volatiles released by Beauveria bassiana induce oviposition behavior in the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).

Microbial volatile organic compounds may act as semiochemicals, inciting different behavioral responses in insects. Beauveria bassiana is an entomopathogenic fungus, and physiological and environmental factors are positively related to fungal virulence. In this study, we examined the volatile profiles produced by eight B.
