Summary: NP20 is a novel antifungal peptide that has the ability to kill spores of Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigatus and directly damage their surface, membrane, cytoplasm, organelle, and nucleus. It is active under temperature stress and a wide range of pH. The mechanisms underlying NP20's antifungal activity include binding with and passing through the fungal cell wall, interfering with the lipid membrane, inducing intracellular ROS production, DNA fragmentation, and protein synthesis inhibition of the fungal cells.

Summary: The efficacy of two entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, for endophytic colonization on maize plants and their impact on the survival, development, and fecundity of the fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, were evaluated. Both fungi effectively colonized the maize plants and negatively impacted the development and fecundity of the fall armyworm. These findings suggest that entomopathogenic fungi can be used to control the fall armyworm by endophytic colonization of maize plants.

Summary: The pool of volatiles released by B. bassiana is isolate-specific and influences the behavioral responses of S. frugiperda, with compounds from mycosed insect isolates having a stronger impact on oviposition behavior. These findings suggest that fungal compounds could be used as a control measure for insect populations.

Summary: The study isolated Aspergillus niger from soil samples in Bangladesh, extracted pigments and used them for food production, showing that pigments extracted from Aspergillus niger can be successfully used in food. Spectroscopic analysis and in vivo experiments indicated that Aspergillus niger pigments have certain toxicity in food, but pigment-supplemented products were more acceptable in sensory evaluation.

Summary: Maize is a crucial crop in China, but the invasion of fall armyworm (FAW) threatens its sustainable productivity. Various entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) were tested and found to effectively cause mortality in FAW larvae and eggs. Further research on the effectiveness of these EPF in the field may lead to their important role in controlling FAW.

Summary: In this study, a highly pathogenic Aspergillus fijiensis strain, GDIZM-1, was isolated from naturally infected cadavers of the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri. The strain was found to be non-aflatoxin B-1 producer and showed high pathogenicity against D. citri nymphs and adults under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. These findings provide a basis for the development of a new microbial pesticide against D. citri.

Summary: Fruit and vegetable processing wastes are suitable sources for fermentative products, and certain bioactive compounds have inhibitory or enhancing effects on fungal growth. In this study, octanol was found to have antifungal properties against Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus niger, while polyphenols, ascorbic acid, and hexanal enhanced A. niger biomass yield. Car-3-ene increased A. oryzae biomass yield at higher concentration but decreased it at lower concentration. The resistant nature of the fungi suggests their potential for waste valorization.

Summary: This study investigated the potential of the eco-friendly entomopathogenic fungus Purpureocillium lilacinum for controlling agricultural insect pests. The growth characteristics, enzyme activities, and virulence of the fungus against aphids and fall armyworm were analyzed. Differentially expressed genes in response to the infection of fall armyworm larvae were also identified. The results demonstrate the efficacy of P. lilacinum as a bio-control agent against agricultural insect pests.

Summary: Entomopathogenic fungi and nematodes are widely used as biocontrol agents in insect pest management. However, the co-infections between these organisms are rarely found naturally due to the cryptic soil environment. Studies have focused on the interactions of different species of fungi and nematodes, but the outcomes vary. The present review summarizes the current knowledge on their interactions and evaluates the possible effects on natural pathogen populations and biocontrol use.

Summary: Phalsa is an important berry fruit in Asia, with significant changes in ascorbic acid, total phenolics, total antioxidant capacity, total carotenoids, anthocyanins, moisture%, crude protein, crude fiber, and fat content during low temperature storage. More mature fruit had higher concentrations of various nutrients and antioxidative enzymes compared to less mature fruit. Overall, significant nutritive functions and antioxidative enzymes were found in both maturity stages of phalsa fruit during postharvest storage.

Summary: This study examined the biochemical activities in citrus cultivars infected with Citrus bent leaf viroid (CBLVd). The results showed that infected leaves had significantly lower chlorophyll contents and higher concentrations of total soluble phenolics (TSP). The activities of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) were also significantly increased in infected leaves. These findings suggest that these biochemical alterations are associated with the plants' response to pathogen infection.

Summary: This study found that a significant quantity of wheat is lost during storage due to insect and fungal pest complexes. The study also identified Sitotroga cerealella as an important factor in propagating mycotoxic fungi. The prevalence of Aspergillus flavus was higher when S. cerealella co-infested the grain with fungal species. Additionally, the study found that adult moths were attracted to fungal contaminated seeds. Further investigation is suggested to understand the chemical basis of the mutualistic association between A. flavus and S. cerealella for efficient management of grain losses.

Summary: Leaf rust caused by Puccinia has a higher potential to threaten wheat yield compared to stem and yellow rust, with a potential loss of up to 10%. The severity of the disease depends on plant development and susceptibility. Breeding resistant varieties is the best and economic way to control this problem. Only a few varieties have shown resistance against leaf rust in the past three years. Low temperature, high humidity, and heavy rainfall promote disease development.

Summary: Cotton is an important economic crop in Pakistan and is threatened by the whitefly mitotype Asia II-1. The widespread use of insecticides is a major factor causing resistance development in whitefly and mortality of beneficial insects. To manage whitefly, 15 different plant extracts and three entomopathogenic fungi were tested under controlled and field conditions. The study found that the treatments significantly reduced the whitefly population in both laboratory and field settings. This research provides valuable insights for future pest management using alternative techniques such as plant extracts and entomopathogenic fungi.

Summary: This study evaluates the efficacy of Beauveria bassiana, diatomaceous earth (DE), and indoxacarb at single or combined applications on wheat kernels for the management of harmful insects. The combination of DE + indoxacarb showed the highest efficiency, causing higher mortalities and lower progeny production. Beauveria bassiana alone exhibited the lowest mortality rates and highest offspring emergence. The combination of DE + indoxacarb was the most powerful and effective against all tested species during the storage period.

Summary: This study identified the yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMD) as the cause of significant production losses in okra plants in Mardan, Pakistan. The virus is transmitted by the whitefly and has a similar genome to bhendi yellow vein mosaic virus (BYVMV). The presence of alpha- and betasatellite DNA suggests recent mobilization into the viral complex infecting okra, and these findings may aid in developing new management strategies for protecting this valuable crop.

Summary: This study compares the effects of two types of cobalt-based nanoparticles on lung cells and finds that cobalt nanoparticles are more toxic to cells than cobalt-iron oxide nanoparticles, possibly due to the higher release of Co2+ ions by cobalt nanoparticles. Additionally, the study suggests that CalceinAM alone is insufficient to assess the toxicity of cobalt-based nanoparticles, and other methods should be used for further confirmation.

Summary: This study investigates the steady flow of viscoelastic fluid in a deformable channel. The mathematical structure for computing the impacts of fluid viscoelasticity on the flow is provided, and the dimensionless variables influencing the interaction between the fluid and structure are identified. The results show that the converging and diverging sections of the channel are affected similarly by the inertial forces and channel opening. Longer strain delaying time and shorter stress relaxation phase improve the velocity profile of the fluid flow.
