Journal ArticleDOI
Entomopathogenic fungal endophytes
Fernando E. Vega,Francisco Posada,M. Catherine Aime,Monica Pava-Ripoll,Francisco Infante,Stephen A. Rehner +5 more
TL;DR: The possible mode of action of entomopathogenic fungal endophytes is reviewed and two of them, B. bassiana and Clonostachys rosea, were tested against the coffee berry borer and were shown to be pathogenic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inoculation of coffee plants with the fungal entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Hypocreales).
TL;DR: The recovery of B. bassiana from sites distant from the point of inoculation indicates that the fungus has the potential to move throughout the plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal endophyte diversity in coffee plants from Colombia, Hawai'i, Mexico and Puerto Rico
Fernando E. Vega,Ann Simpkins,M. Catherine Aime,Francisco Posada,Stephen W. Peterson,Stephen A. Rehner,Francisco Infante,Alfredo Castillo,A. Elizabeth Arnold +8 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that coffee plants serve as a reservoir for a wide variety of fungal endophytes that can be isolated from various plant tissues, including the seed, and illustrates the different fungal communities encountered by C. arabica in different coffee-growing regions of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endophytic bacteria in Coffea arabica L.
TL;DR: The highest number of bacteria among the berry tissues sampled was isolated from the seed, and includes Bacillus, Burkholderia, Clavibacter, Curtobacterium, Escherichia, Micrococcus, Pantoea, Pseudomonas, Serratia, and Stenotrophomonas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Establishment of the fungal entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) as an endophyte in cocoa seedlings (Theobroma cacao)
TL;DR: The fungal entomopathogen Beauveria bassiana became established as an endophyte in in vitro-grown cocoa seedlings tested for up to 2 mo after inoculation to the radicle with B. bassiana suspensions.
