Extreme temperatures were considered natural hazards because they could increase morbidity and mortality. Understanding the extreme temperature changes at different warming levels is crucial to climate change mitigation and adoption for human health. This study projected climate change effects on the intensity, occurrence, and duration of extreme temperatures in Taiwan with 2 and 4°C global warming scenarios using the Weather...

Summary The filamentous fungus Beauveria bassiana , an insect fungal pathogen, is widely used for pest biocontrol. Aerial conidia are infectious propagules, and their yield and viability greatly affect the field application of this fungus; however, little is known about the molecular regulatory mechanism of the triggered conidiation. In the present study, we find that the secondary metabolite regulator BbSmr1 is involved in th...
