Studies on engineering entomopathogenic fungi metarhizium anisopliae and beauveria bassiana to express heterologous insect specific toxins

Abstract

M anisopliae and B bassiana are the environmentally friendlier insect pathogenic fungi being utilized as an alternative to chemical synthetic insecticides to control major economically crucial agricultural insect pests globally Nevertheless in the duration to complete the procession of pathogenic invasion insects cause stellar temporal damages to the food crops thus necessitated an increase in the virulence and reduction in the lethal timing of entomopathogenic fungi In the present stud...
