Abstract
⺠Solar ultraviolet radiation affects Beauveria bassiana field performance. ⺠We engineered B. bassiana with an exogenous tyrosinase gene. ⺠The transformants produced an increased amount of yellowish pigments. ⺠The mutants thereby acquired significantly increased UV-resistant ability. ⺠The virulence of the transgenic isolate was also drastically increased.
