Abstract：
Entomopathogenic fungi capable of establishing mutualistic endophytic relationships with plants have a tremendous potential as biocontrol agents of insect pests. While fungi have long played an important and highly effective role in pest suppression, the utility of endophytic entomopathogenic fungi in pest management is a relatively new and emerging topic of biocontrol. Here we discuss the relevance of endophytic fungi to plant health in general, synthesize the current knowledge of the effectiveness of endophytic entomopathogenic fungi against diverse insect pests, discuss the indirect plant-mediated effects of endophytic entomopathogenic fungi on arthropods, and describe the diverse benefits of endophytic fungi to plants that are likely to affect herbivores and plant pathogens as well. Lastly, we consider major challenges to incorporating endophytic entomopathogenic fungi in biocontrol, such as their non-target effects and field efficacy, which can be variable and influenced by environmental factors. Continued research on endophyte-insect-plant-environment interactions is critical to advancing our knowledge of these fungi as a sustainable pest management tactic. © 2024 The Author(s).

摘要：
能够与植物建立相互的内生亲缘关系的昆虫病原真菌作为害虫的生物防治剂具有巨大的潜力。虽然真菌长期以来在害虫抑制中发挥着重要而高效的作用，内生昆虫病原真菌在害虫防治中的应用是一个相对较新的新兴生物防治课题。在这里，我们讨论内生真菌与植物健康的相关性，综合内生昆虫病原真菌对各种害虫的有效性的当前知识，讨论内生昆虫病原真菌对节肢动物的间接植物介导效应，并描述了内生真菌对可能影响草食动物和植物病原体的植物的多种益处。最后,我们考虑将内生昆虫病原真菌纳入生物防治的主要挑战，如它们的非目标效应和现场功效，这可能是可变的，受环境因素的影响。关于内生菌-昆虫-植物-环境相互作用的持续研究对于提高我们对这些真菌作为可持续害虫管理策略的认识至关重要。©2024作者（S）。害虫管理科学由JohnWiley&SonsLtd代表化学工业学会出版。
