Endophytic colonisation of tobacco, corn, wheat and soybeans by the fungal entomopathogen <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> (Ascomycota, Hypocreales)

We demonstrate the effectiveness of three inoculation methods (foliar spray, seed immersion and root immersion) in establishing fungal the entomopathogen <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> as an endophyte in tobacco, corn, wheat and soybean. Colonisation of leaves by <i>B. bassiana</i>...

Sumario:We demonstrate the effectiveness of three inoculation methods (foliar spray, seed immersion and root immersion) in establishing fungal the entomopathogen <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> as an endophyte in tobacco, corn, wheat and soybean. Colonisation of leaves by <i>B. bassiana</i> was assessed 7, 14, 21 and 28 days post-inoculation. There were significant differences (p < 0.001) in endophytic colonisation among the different inoculation techniques.
