Metarhizium anisopliae (MetA1) seed priming improves photosynthesis, growth, plant defense and yield of wheat under drought stress.

Drought stress mitigation by endophytic microorganisms has the potential to enhance crop resilience. This research investigated the effects of M. anisopliae isolate MetA1 (MA) on drought tolerance in wheat plants by evaluating physiological, morphological, biochemical, and yield characteristics of two wheat genotypes, one being drought-susceptible (BR20) and another having drought withstanding capacities (BR28) in a pot experiment under moderate and severe drought conditions.

Seed priming with (MetA1) improves physiology, growth and yield of wheat.

Microorganisms offer a sustainable way to increase crop production and promote eco-friendly farming. The endophytic fungus is known for its multiple roles in plant ecosystems, including plant protection, symbiosis, and abiotic stress mitigation. In this study, we evaluated the potential of seed priming with isolate MetA1 (MA) to enhance germination, photosynthetic efficiency, growth, and yield of two wheat varieties, BARI Gom 26 (BG26) and BARI Gom 33 (BG33) under field conditions.

The dynamic relationship between skin microbiomes and personal care products: A comprehensive review.

Healthy skin reflects a healthy microbiome and vice versa. The contemporary society, marked by a sharp increase in skin irritation cases, has compelled researchers, dermatologists, and the cosmetics industry to investigate the correlation between skin microbiomes and the use of skincare products. Different cosmetics can change skin's normal flora to a varying degree -some changes can be detrimental, there are also instances where these alterations aid in restoring the skin microbiome.

The fungal endophyte Metarhizium anisopliae (MetA1) coordinates salt tolerance mechanisms of rice to enhance growth and yield.

The implementation of salt stress mitigation strategies aided by microorganisms has the potential to improve crop growth and yield. The endophytic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae shows the ability to enhance plant growth and mitigate diverse forms of abiotic stress. We examined the functions of M.

Biocontrol potential of native isolates of Beauveria bassiana against cotton leafworm Spodoptera litura (Fabricius).

The entomopathogenic fungus (EPF), Beauveria bassiana, is reported as the most potent biological control agent against a wide range of insect families. This study aimed to isolate and characterize the native B. bassiana from various soil habitats in Bangladesh and to evaluate the bio-efficacy of these isolates against an important vegetable insect pest, Spodoptera litura.
