| Abstract | Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (AMT) was used in order to create fluorescent conidia of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Ascomycota: Hypocreales). From the fungal transformants, one Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein B. bassiana strain indicated stability (maintained the GFP characteristics) in fluorescent signal, while its pathogenicity did not differ significantly from the wild B. bassiana type. After exposure on wheat treated with the transformed conidia, fluorescence was evident on all body parts but especially on metasternon of adults of Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and on elytra in of Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). No significant differences were noted in fluorescence levels in the case of T. confusum between the transformed and the wild strain. However, the addition of diatomaceous earth (DE) increased attachment, especially at increased intervals after exposure. For S. oryzae, fluorescence of the transformed strain was decreased with the increased post-exposure time, but the simultaneous presence of DE increased fluorescence. The results of this study demonstrate that fluorescent conidia of B. bassiana can be utilized as a tool for the evaluation of parameters that affect the attachment of entomopathogenic fungi in insects’ cuticle. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
