Sub-Lethal Effects of Partially Purified Protein Extracted from <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> (Balsamo) and Its Presumptive Role in Tomato (<i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i> L.) Defense against Whitefly (<i>Bemisia tabaci</i> Genn.)

Sub-Lethal Effects of Partially Purified Protein Extracted from <i>Beauveria bassiana</i> (Balsamo) and Its Presumptive Role in Tomato (<i>Lycopersicon esculentum</i> L.) Defense against Whitefly (<i>Bemisia tabaci</i> Genn.)

Plants rely on various physiological and molecular defense mechanisms against biotic stresses such as herbivore insects. Many entomopathogenic fungi synthesize protein molecules that can trigger these plant defenses. This laboratory study characterized the bioactivity of a partially purified protein...
