To meet these demands, some of the tools include host-plant resistance and seed-applied pesticides. However, prophylactic applications

  • 1 Naming Names: the Etymology of Fungal Entomopathogens

Maniania Naming names: The etymology 1 of fungal entomopathogens Fernando E. Vega Sustainable Perennial Crops Laboratory, USDA, ARS, Bldg. 011A, BARC-W Beltsville Maryland 20705, USA Abstract This chapter introduces the reader to the etymology of the generic names given to 26 fungal entomopathogens. Possessing some knowledge on how a name originates sometimes provides us with information on a fungal characteristic that might help us identify the organism, e.g., Conidiobolus, Cordyceps, Pandora, Regiocrella, Orthomyces, etc. In other cases, the name won’t tell us what the fungus looks like, but serves to honor those for whom the fungus was named, e.g., Aschersonia, Batkoa, Beauveria, Nomuraea, Strongwellsea, etc. Correspondence/Reprint request: Dr. Fernando E. Vega, Sustainable Perennial Crops Laboratory, USDA ARS, Bldg. 011A, BARC-W, Beltsville, Maryland 20705, USA. E-mail: [email protected] 2 Fernando E. Vega 1. Introduction One interesting aspect in the business of science is the naming of taxonomic species: the reasons why organisms are baptized with a certain name, which might or might not change as science progresses. Related to this topic, the scientific illustrator Louis C. C. Krieger (1873-1940) [1] self-published an eight- page long article in 1924, entitled “The millennium of systematic mycology: a phantasy” where the main character is a “... systematic mycologist, who, from too much “digging” in the mighty “scrapheap” of synonymy, fell into a deep coma.” As he lies in this state, he dreams about being in Heaven, and unable to leave behind his collecting habits, picks up an amanita and upon examining it finds a small capsule hidden within it.

MycoKeys 66: 55–81. https://doi. org/10.3897/mycokeys.66.46575 Abstract The genus Conidiobolus is an important group in entomophthoroid fungi and is considered to be poly- phyletic in recent molecular phylogenies. To re-evaluate and delimit this genus, multi-locus phylogenetic analyses were performed using the large and small subunits of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nucLSU and nuc- SSU), the small subunit of the mitochondrial ribosomal DNA (mtSSU) and the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (EF-1α). The results indicated that the Conidiobolus is not monophyletic, being grouped into a paraphyletic grade with four clades.

Conidia production by the formulation increased from 3:1 Â 104 to a maximum of 13:7 Â 104 conidia/mg (dry weight) over the temperature range from 5 to 20 °C and decreased to 10:7 Â 104 conidia/mg at 25 °C and to nearly zero at 31 °C. A temperature-dependent development model estimated a sporulation optimum of 23.6 °C. Pieces of formulated mycelium (2 Â 2 Â 0:5 mm) placed on bean and cowpea foliage in the field showed a temporal pattern of nightly conidial discharge similar to the fungus on leafhopper cadavers; both fungi initiated sporulation within a few hours following dewset and ceased with the return of dry conditions after 08:00 h. However, sporulation of the fungus on cadavers peaked between 00:00 and 03:00 h, while peak sporulation of the formulated fungus usually occurred shortly after dawn.
