Functional Characterization of Core Regulatory Genes Involved in Sporulation of the Nematophagous Fungus <named-content content-type="genus-species">Purpureocillium lavendulum</named-content>
ABSTRACT The nematophagous fungus Purpureocillium lavendulum is a natural enemy of plant-parasitic nematodes, which cause severe economic losses in agriculture worldwide. The production of asexual spores (conidia) in P. lavendulum is crucial for its biocontrol activity against nematodes. In this stu...
