Bark beetles utilize ophiostomatoid fungi to circumvent host tree defenses

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Rashaduz Zaman and colleagues from the Department of Renewable Resources, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB T G , Canada have published the paper: Bark Beetles Utilize Ophiostomatoid Fungi to Circumvent Host Tree Defenses, in the Journal: Metabolites 2023, 239 of /2023/
• what: A large majority of tested showed a strong attraction to two fungal species whereas the other fungus repelled the Together this study shows that fungal symbionts can alter defense chemistry assist in overcoming metabolite toxicity and provide possible chemical cues for beetle attraction. The authors show that low-density fungal inoculations can upregulate . . .
