The BbLar1-mediated transcriptome in Beauveria bassiana exposed to linoleic acid stress

Fungal tolerance is important for B. bassiana in biological control of insect pests. BbLar1 plays important roles in fungal resistance to linoleic acid stress. The genome-wide exprssion analysis involved in fungal resonse to unsaturated fatty acids was analyzed by using high throughput sequencing (RNA-Seq) at different concentrations of linoleic acid. Our analyese revealed that BbLar1 mediated numerous differentially expressed genes (DEGs), of which involved in metabolism, cell transport and cell rescue, were significantly involved in the tolerance of B. bassiana to linoleic acid stress. Overall design: Comparison was conducted between the ?Bblar1 mutant strains at the indicated concentration of linoleic acid.
