Evidence for the involvement of ACC deaminase from Pseudomonas putida UW4 in the biocontrol of pine wilt disease caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus [PDF]
, 2013 Pine wilt disease, caused by the nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is responsible for devastation of pine forests worldwide. Until now, there are no effective ways of dealing with this serious threat. The use of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC)

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Lecanosticta acicola and Dothistroma septosporum trigger similar symptoms; host responses diverge sharply: Pinus pinea mounts robust defences, P. pinaster remains vulnerable, and P. radiata sustains growth. These contrasting strategies highlight species‐specific resilience and provide key insights for sustainable forest protection.

Regulatory roles of Bxy-laf-1 in reproductive behaviour of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Bursaphelenchus xylophilu is a worldwide quarantine nematode, causing huge economic losses and ecological disasters in many countries. The sex ratio of B. xylophilus plays an important role in the nematode infestation.

Nature Communications, 2016 Many species of nematodes use pheromones called ascarosides to coordinate their behaviour and development. Here, Zhao et al. demonstrate that the beetle vector of the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) also uses and responds to ascarosides in
