BACKGROUND
Metarhizium acridum, is a specific acridid pathogen developed for use against the migratory locust (Locusta migratoria manilensis). Adenylate‐forming reductases (AFRs) include enzymes that are involved in natural product biosynthesis. Here, we genetically characterize the functions of a class IV AFR in M. acridum (MaAfrIV) on fungal development and virulence.

BACKGROUND
The genomes of broad host range insect pathogenic fungi, including Cordyceps fumosorosea, encode for a suite of secreted proteases implicated in targeting, penetration, and degradation of the host exoskeleton or cuticle. These cuticle‐degrading proteases act as critical virulence factors, but their functions within the biological context, particularly in relation to host specificity, remain...
