Introduction
“An early career researcher” with main focus on Plant-Microbe-Insect Interactions, from ecological to mechanistic levels. Currently working in Horizon 2020 EU project “EXCALIBUR” to investigate the mechanisms involved in plant microbe interactions (mainly fungus) against arthropod pests. Extremely intrigued to know more about these biological interactions, interested (open) to discuss and collaborate to extend my experience and share my expertise.

Semiochemicals or more precisely the communicative messengers can be employed in varying ways in order to disrupt proper pest chemical communications leading to pest reductions.
In order to find out the association of morphological traits imparting resistance toward the tested insect pest of cotton, an experiment was carried out at Cotton Research Institute, Faisalabad. Treatments consisted of six cultivars of cotton including RH-510, CIM-1100, PB-899, FH-324, Lalazar and FH-146. Insect pest population per leaf was statist...
Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) can display a plant‐associated lifestyle as endophytes. Seed application of EPF can affect insect herbivory above ground, but the mechanisms behind this are not documented.
Here we applied three EPF isolates, Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium brunneum and M. robertsii, as seed inoculation of wheat and bean, and evaluated...
Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) can be experimentally established in several plant species as endophytes. Ecological effects of EPF inoculations on plant growth and plant-herbivore interactions have been demonstrated, potentially by altering plant physiological responses. However, the role of these responses in plant-fungus-herbivore tripartite intera...
Background
Entomopathogenic fungi are increasingly used as bio-inoculants to enhance crop growth and resistance. When applied to rhizosphere soil, they interact with resident soil microbes, which can affect their ability to colonize and induce resistance in plants as well as modify the structure of the resident soil microbiome, either directly thro...
Entomopathogenic fungi have been well exploited as biocontrol agents that can kill insects through direct contact. However, recent research has shown that they can also play an important role as plant endophytes, stimulating plant growth, and indirectly suppressing pest populations. In this study, we examined the indirect, plant-mediated, effects o...
