Beauveria bassiana abaA (BbabaA) and brlA (BbbrlA) regulating genes involved in conidiation

Gene BbabaA and BbbrlA play an essential role in conidation, a determinant to the biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic fungi. The genome-wide exprssion analysis involved in fungal conidiation was analyzed by using high throughput sequencing (RNA-Seq). Our transcriptional profiles revealed that numerous differentially expressed genes (DEGs), of which involved in metabolism, cell transport and cell rescue, were significantly involved in deveopment of fungal conida. Overall design: Total RNA obtained from ?BbabaA and BbbrlA mutant strains were compared to that of wild type strain (WT) grown on SDA plates (Glucose 4%, Peptone 1%, and Yeast extract 1% plus 1.5% Agar).
