초록

Bean bug, Riptortus pedestris is an agriculturally serious pest in East Asian countries, reducing the value of crop quality and loss of income in agribusiness. Chemical pesticides have contributed to the management of the pest, but nowadays insect resistance limits the use of chemical pesticides, thus alternatively new pesticides with different mode of actions such as entomopathogenic fungi are considered. Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae JEF isolates were collected, identified and assayed against bean bugs in laboratory conditions. Some isolates showed >80% virulence by spray and contact-exposure methods. The isolates produced high levels of pathogenesis-related enzymes, such as chitinase, Pr1 protease and lipase. The Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation generated random transformants and some mutants had reduced virulence against bean bugs, which provided some materials to figure out pathogenicity-related genes in the fungi. Now characterization of flanking region of the integrated fragment is underway and this work may reveal some important genes in the pathogenesis. This work can be a strong platform for the functional genetics of bean bug-pathogenic B. bassiana.
