The entomopathogenic fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides is a potential candidate for biocontrol of insect pests. We isolated a strain of C. cladosporioides BOU1 from an infected brown plant hoper (BPH) of rice and characterized it using morpho-physiological and molecular analyses. Internal transcri...

Many insect pests, including the brown planthopper (BPH), undergo windborne migration that is challenging to observe and track. It remains controversial about their migration patterns and largely unknown regarding the underlying genetic basis. By analyzing 360 whole genomes from around the globe, we...
