“…The endophytic fungi-plant relationship can be explored for cultivation of targeted high value medicinal plant species with the view to optimizing medicinal properties by increasing quantity and quality of secondary metabolites in these plants. Beauveria bassiana , an entomopathogenic fungus which occurs naturally and ubiquitously in the soil (Keswani et al., 2013), is endophytic and an interesting candidate for the evaluation of endophytic fungal colonization on the medicinal properties of plants.…”

The endophytic plant-fungi symbiotic relationship can be explored to improve cultivation of targeted medicinal plant species. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of the cultivation of chive (Allium schoenoprasum) in plant growth medium inoculated with the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana (Hypocreales). Twelve replicates of chive seedlings were exposed to B. bassiana inoculum formulated at concentrations of 0, 1 × 105, 1 × 104 and 1 × 103 conidia mL−1 in a completely randomized design. We assessed plant growth parameters, such as leaf number and plant height weekly and root length, leaf and root fresh and dry weights and secondary metabolites three weeks post-fungal inoculation. The fungus was re-isolated from some of the leaves and roots of the treated plants suggesting that the fungus successfully colonized the plant tissue. Generally, the results indicated that the fungal inoculation had minimal effect on most of the growth parameters assessed in relation to the control. Remarkably, plants exposed to the fungus recorded greater (p < 0.05) total alkaloid, ranging from 2.98 – 3.76 mg atropine equivalent (AE)/g dry weight (DW) compared to the control plants (1.96 mg AE/g DW) for the leaves. This study demonstrated that endophytic fungi could be used to improve the yield of active chemical constituents in cultivated medicinal plants.

“…bassiana has been included in a schedule as an amendment in the Insecticide Act, 1968, for commercial production as biopesticide and published in the Gazette of India dated 26th March 1999 (Keswani et al 2013). However, its availability is still limited to some selected states in our country (Singh 2013).…”

“…It is a natural conditions, in which pathogens are a frequent and often cause natural mortalities of insect populations. [1][2][3][4][5] Beauveria bassiana has been produced on different solid media such as Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) and potato dextrose agar (PDA) and many other different types of media. It is a fungus which grows naturally in soils, it acts as a parasite on various arthropod species.…”

Beauveria bassiana belongs to the class Deuteromycetes which is one of the important disease-causing biocontrol agents in insects. B. bassiana, formerly known as Botrytis bassiana (Balsamo), is a widely distributed soil inhabiting fungus. B. bassiana is also known to be best biocontrol agent against larval stage of the silkworm. B. bassiana is categorized as a white muscardine fungus due to the white color of sporulating colonies. It is a type of biopesticide which is based on entomopathogenic fungi which are often considerable scope as plant protection agents against several pathogens and insects including whiteflies, aphids, thrips, grasshoppers, and certain types of beetles. The present study deals with the use of different media such as coconut media, jaggery media, nutrient media, potato dextrose media, Sabouraud dextrose media, and molasses media.
