The Efficiency of RNA Interference in Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Molecules and Cells, 2008
RNA interference (RNAi) was performed on several essential genes in the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, which causes pine wilt disease. Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) was delivered to larvae or adult worms by soaking, electroporation, or microinjection.

CRISPR vs. nematodes: A new era of genetic solutions for potato crop protection

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 187, Issue 2, Page 157-176, September 2025.
This review highlights the impact of nematodes on potato production and explores CRISPR/Cas genome editing as a breakthrough strategy for enhancing resistance. We discuss the potential, challenges, and future directions of CRISPR‐based approaches in developing resilient potato cultivars.

Control of the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus by essential oils and extracts obtained from plants: a review. [PDF]

, 2012
The pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a serious threat to forest ecosystems at a global scale. The nematode has become a major quarantine problem due to its capability to completely destroy Pinus spp. trees, with great damage to the

Master of Puppets: How Microbiota Drive the Nematoda Ecology and Evolution?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The nematode microbiota can influence life‐history traits, thereby shaping the species' ecology and evolutionary trajectories. ABSTRACT In recent decades, the microbiota has emerged as a key driver of biological functions in metazoans, and nematodes are no exception.

Development of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus-specific microsatellite markers to assess the genetic diversity of populations from European forests. [PDF]

, 2012
The pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner & Buhrer, 1934), Nickle (Nematoda: Aphelenchoididae) is the causal agent of the pine wilt disease and is currently considered as one of the most important pests and pathogens in the world ...

snRNA‐Seq Unveils Cell‐Type‐Specific Immune Dynamics in Arabidopsis During Pinewood Nematode Infection

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 8, August 2025.
Single‐nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA‐seq) revealed significant cell‐type‐specific differences in pinewood nematode (PWN)‐induced transcriptional reprogramming and identified the critical role of the AtWRKY70‐AtPNP‐A transcriptional regulatory module during PWN infection.

Efficacy of sulfuryl fluoride against the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Nematoda: Aphelenchidae), in Pinus pinaster boards [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: The pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is an important conifer disease worldwide. It is the direct cause of the death of millions of pines in south-east Asia (mainly Japan, China and Korea) and has been established in Portugal

Effect of Pest Control Strategies on Arthropod Pests of Apple in Europe: A Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 6, Page 957-987, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is a major fruit crop in Europe. More than 200 phytophagous arthropod species thrive in European apple orchards, several of which are economically important pests. Due to the pest pressure on apple production, consumer demand for residue‐free products and current policies to make food production in the European ...

Genetic diversity of Bursaphelenchus cocophilus in South America [PDF]

, 2016
Molecular characterisation of Bursaphelenchus cocophilus, the causal agent of ‘red ring disease’, is imperative for efficient identification procedures in Brazil and Colombia, because quarantine species such as B. xylophilus and B. mucronatus are already

The nuclear hormone receptor family transcription factor Dd‐NHR‐1 is required for embryonic development in Ditylenchus destructor

New Plant Protection, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2025.
The nuclear hormone receptor family transcription factor Dd‐NHR‐1 is essential for embryonic development and infectivity by Ditylenchus destructor in sweet potatoes. Dd‐NHR‐1 can participate in nervous system development as a key upstream regulator by globally regulating multiple downstream factors during the embryonic stage of plant‐parasitic ...
