Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Brochosomes were casued shrivelling and dehydration of fungal conidia and inhibition of the growth of germinated hyphae. • Brochosomes on the surface of leafhoppers are detachable, which enables leafhoppers to remove most spores adhered to their body surface through self-cleaning behavior. • At joint regions, wing edges, and other areas with sparse brochosome coverage, Beauveria bassiana conidia can successfully adhere and establish infection. • Brochosomes were not degraded by fungal secretions, and with the help of surfactant, brochosomes were deformed and absorbed by hyphae.
