Effect of passage through the plant on virulence and endophytic behavioural adaptation in the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana
González Mas, Natalia; Valverde-García, Rafael; Gutiérrez-Sánchez, Fernando; Quesada-Moraga, Enrique (Elsevier, 2021)Systemic crop protection using endophytic isolates of entomopathogenic fungi is at the forefront of IPM. Nonetheless, any potential trade-offs between virulence and endophytic behaviour must be elucidated if they are to ... -
Effects of Endophytic Entomopathogenic Ascomycetes on the Life-History Traits of Aphis gossypii Glover and Its Interactions with Melon Plants
González Mas, Natalia; Sánchez-Ortiz, Araceli; Valverde García, Pablo; Quesada-Moraga, Enrique (MDPI, 2019)Entomopathogenic fungi are sprayed commercially for aphid control in greenhouses. Recently, their ability to grow endophytically within plants was discovered, offering the opportunity for systemic biological control. ... -
Entomopathogenic fungi-based mechanisms for improved Fe nutrition in sorghum plants grown on calcareous substrates
Raya Díaz, Silvia; Sánchez-Rodríguez, Antonio Rafael; Segura-Fernández, José Manuel; Campillo, María del Carmen del; Quesada-Moraga, Enrique (Public Library Of Science (PLOS), 2017)Although entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are best known for their ability to protect crops against insect pests, they may have other beneficial effects on their host plants. These effects, which include promoting plant growth ... -
Entomopathogenic Fungi-Mediated Solubilization and Induction of Fe Related Genes in Melon and Cucumber Plants
García-Espinoza, Fabián; Quesada-Moraga, Enrique; García del Rosal, María José; Yousef-Yousef, Meelad (MDPI, 2023)Endophytic insect pathogenic fungi have a multifunctional lifestyle; in addition to its well-known function as biocontrol agents, it may also help plants respond to other biotic and abiotic stresses, such as iron (Fe) ... -
Hard-to-heal wound healing: superiority of hydrogel EHO-85 (Containing Olea europaea Leaf Extract) vs. a standard hydrogel. A randomized controlled trial
Verdú-Soriano, José; Casado-Díaz, Antonio; Cristino-Espinar, Marisol de; Luna-Morales, Silvia; Dios Guerra, Caridad; Moreno Moreno, Ana; Dorado, G.; Quesada-Moraga, Enrique; Rodríguez-Mañas, Leocadio; Lázaro-Martínez, José Luis (MDPI, 2023)Chronic wounds, especially those that are hard-to-heal, constitute a serious public-health problem. Although progress has been made in the development of wound dressings for healing, there is little high-quality evidence ... -
Imperfect match between radiation exposure times required for conidial viability loss and infective capacity reduction attenuate UV-B impact on Beauveria bassiana
Fernández Bravo, María del Carmen; Bonnet, Jolijn; Quesada-Moraga, Enrique; Garrido-Jurado, Inmaculada (Wiley, 2023)BACKGROUND: UV-B radiation represents a significant challenge for the widespread use of entomopathogenic fungi in pest management. This study focused on research of the asynchronous response between virulence and conidial ... -
Mycoviral Population Dynamics in Spanish Isolates of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana
Filippou, Charalampos; Garrido-Jurado, Inmaculada; Meyling, Nicolai V.; Quesada-Moraga, Enrique; Coutts, Robert H.A.; Kotta-Loizou, Ioly (MDPI, 2018)The use of mycoviruses to manipulate the virulence of entomopathogenic fungi employed as biocontrol agents may lead to the development of novel methods to control attacks by insect pests. Such approaches are urgently ... -
Non-specific inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidases 8/9 by dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors negatively affects mesenchymal stem cell differentiation
