Effects of tomato inoculation with the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium brunneum on spider mite resistance and the rhizosphere microbial community

Abstract: Entomopathogenic fungi have been well exploited as biocontrol agents that can kill insects through direct contact. However, recent research has shown that they can also play an important role as plant endophytes, stimulating plant growth, and indirectly suppressing pest populations. In this study, we examined the indirect, plant-mediated, effects of a strain of entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium brunneum on plant growth and population growth of two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae) in tomato, using … Show more

“…The tissue separation method was adopted to isolate and culture pathogens, with slight modifications [16,18]. Dead adult mites having been infected with fungi were collected from the laboratory, rinsed five times with sterile water, inoculated with a needle onto a potato dextrose agar (PDA, BD-Pharmingen, Becton, Dickinson and Company, New York, NY, USA) plate, and cultured in a 28 • C incubator (ZQZY-88BN, Zhichu Instrument Co., LTD, Shanghai, China) for 2-3 d. The grown mycelium was plated on a new PDA plate three times for repeated purification.…”

“…Some developed biocontrol products are being used effectively to control a wide range of insect pests worldwide, for example, in India, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Ukraine, and the USA [10,12]. Some typical entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin [8,13,14] and Metarhizium spp., have been developed as fungal agents for controlling different insect pests, including Cimex lectularius, Frankliniella occidentalis, and T. urticae, in the field [15,16]. Among these, some fungal strains have been reported to have significant pathogenicity on T. urticae, by inhibiting egg hatching and reducing the fecundity of females [15].…”

“…Plants were grown at 22 • C and 40-60% relative humidity with a 16 h/8 h photoperiod (light/dark) using full-spectrum Flora phytolamps (Osram, Munich, Germany). We used soil drenching with the conidial suspension around seedlings ( [60][61][62] with modifications) because preliminary assays showed effective colonization of potatoes under the laboratory conditions described above. Soil around tubers was inoculated with 10 mL of the suspension (10 8 conidia per mL) in the 0.03% (v/v) Tween 80 solution 3 days after planting.…”
