Ultrastructural plasticity in the plant-parasitic nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractPhenotypic plasticity is one of the most important strategies used by organisms with low mobility to survive in fluctuating environments. Phenotypic plasticity plays a vital role in nematodes because they have small bodies and lack wings or legs and thus, cannot move far by themselves.

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.
