TL;DR

Two virulent Metarhizium rileyi isolates were comparatively characterized using morphological, pathogenicity, molecular, phylogenetic, and whole-genome analyses to investigate genomic differences associated with their entomopathogenic characteristics, providing comprehensive comparative genomic resources for M. rileyi and identifying candidate genomic features that may contribute to fungal pathogenicity and environmental adaptation.
