Construction of a versatile cloning vector for Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of Beauveria bassiana using benomyl for selection.

Beauveria bassiana is a filamentous fungus that has considerable potential to combat insect pests. Therefore, an easy to use genetic transformation tool helps to investigate which fungal genes play a role in virulence and host specificity. However, B. bassiana is often very resistant to antibiotics used as selective ag...
