Abstract excerpt
Beauveria bassiana is a species complex whose isolates show considerable natural genetic variability. However, little is known about how this genetic diversity affects the fungus performance. Herein, we characterized the diversity of genes involved in various mechanisms of the infective cycle of 42 isolates that have different growth rates, thermotolerance and virulence. The analysed genes showed general genetic...
