Entomopathogenic fungi, such as Beauveria bassiana, hold promise as biological control agents against insect pests. However, the efficacy of these fungi can be hindered by insect immune responses. One strategy to enhance fungal virulence is to manipulate host immune by targeting key regulatory molecules like 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E). In this study, we engineered B.
