“…This result is comparable to the earlier studies employing microsatellite loci for depiction of genetic diversity of B. bassiana (Fernandes et al 2006, Takatsuka 2007, Meyling et al 2009, 2012, Castrillo et al 2010, Yao et al 2012. The microsatellite markers provided a good genotype resolution, indicating that all selected isolates belong to B. bassiana sensu stricto (Meyling et al 2012).…”

Beauveria bassiana is an insect-associated fungal species and it is economically important as an environment-friendly mycoinsecticide and a good source of biologically active secondary metabolites. In this study, we employed DNA microsatellite markers to investigate the infraspecific diversity of 102 isolates of B. bassiana sensu stricto from India. All the microsatellite markers were easily amplifiable for all the isolates and provided a good genotype resolution. The microsatellite analysis indicated the presence of highly polymorphic, randomly distributed populations of B. bassiana with variable host range and apparently no host-specificity. We, however, observed region-wise clustering of the populations within B. bassiana sensu stricto from India.

“…The presence of C. bassiana on the imago of R. alpina is an interesting finding 1) in view of the fact that this fungus is highly pathogenic towards insects and has therefore been used in biological pest control (BARBARIN et al 2012, CASTRILLO et al 2010, and 2) since knowledge of the factors responsible for the limited occurrence of this endangered beetle species remains insufficient.…”

“…However, the isolated strains differ in their range of hosts. Some of them, for example, are highly virulent to a small group of caterpillars, while others have a wide range of hosts (CASTRILLO et al 2010). The mycelium collected from this imago of R. alpina was placed in a number of Petri dishes containing PDA medium and incubated at room temperature for 7 days in the dark.…”

The paper describes, for the first time, the occurrence of the entomopathogenic fungus Cordyceps bassiana (anamorph: Beauveria bassiana) on the imago of the endangered beetle Rosalia longicorn Rosalia alpina from the Low Beskid Mountains (the Carpathians, SE Poland). Furthermore, an isolate of the saprotrophic fungus Hypoxylon fragiforme was obtained as a result of laboratory tests on R. alpina specimens. Relationships between the identified fungi and R. alpina are discussed.

“…Unless biocontrol measures, such as fungal entomopathogens (Castrillo et al 2010) or parasitoids (Ulyshen et al 2010), can be found to be effective against EAB, or some host resistance becomes evident, transgenic approaches may be the only pathway to obtain EAB-resistant ash germplasm for future restoration efforts. In the meantime, seed collections, long-term seed storage, and cryopreservation of shoot tips and buds will help to retain the diversity within each species until such time that restoration can proceed.…”

Hardwood tree species in forest, plantation, and urban environments (temperate regions of the world) are important biological resources that play a significant role in the economy and the ecology of terrestrial ecosystems, and they have aesthetic and spiritual value. Because of these many values of hardwood tree species, preserving forest tree biodiversity through the use of biotechnological approaches should be an integral component in any forestry program in addition to large-scale ecologically sustainable forest management and preservation of the urban forest environment. Biotechnological tools are available for conserving tree species as well as genetic characterization that will be needed for deployment of germplasm through restoration activities. This review concentrates on the biotechnological tools available for conserving, characterizing, evaluating, and enhancing hardwood forest tree biodiversity. We focus mainly on species grown for lumber and wood products, not species grown mainly for fiber (pulp and paper production). We also present a brief summary of the importance of non-wood forest products from temperate hardwood tree species (a research area that needs further development using biotechnological techniques) and a few case studies for preserving forest tree biodiversity.
