Insights Into the Mechanisms Implicated in Pinus pinaster Resistance to Pinewood Nematode. [PDF]
Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the plant–parasitic nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, has become a severe environmental problem in the Iberian Peninsula with devastating effects in Pinus pinaster forests. Despite the high levels of this species' susceptibility, previous studies reported heritable resistance in P. pinaster trees. Understanding the

snRNA-Seq Unveils Cell-Type-Specific Immune Dynamics in Arabidopsis During Pinewood Nematode Infection. [PDF]
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.

First insights into the genetic diversity of the pinewood nematode in its native area using new polymorphic microsatellite loci. [PDF]
The pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, native to North America, is the causative agent of pine wilt disease and among the most important invasive forest pests in the East-Asian countries, such as Japan and China. Since 1999, it has been found

A soluble acetylcholinesterase provides chemical defense against xenobiotics in the pinewood nematode. [PDF]
The pinewood nematode genome encodes at least three distinct acetylcholinesterases (AChEs). To understand physiological roles of the three pinewood nematode AChEs (BxACE-1, BxACE-2, and BxACE-3), BxACE-3 in particular, their tissue distribution and ...

Preliminary survey of the pinewood nematode in Turkey [PDF]
A survey was conducted in the northern conifer forests of Turkey in 2003 and 2004 for the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Wood samples were collected from declining pine trees, located in the following target areas: Düzce, Ankara, Bolu, and Artvin. Nematodes were extracted from over 310 samples and were observed and identified.

Diversity of bacteria carried by pinewood nematode in USA and phylogenetic comparison with isolates from other countries. [PDF]
Pine wilt disease (PWD) is native to North America and has spread to Asia and Europe. Lately, mutualistic relationship has been suggested between the pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus the causal nematode agent of PWD, and bacteria.

Life-history strategies and virulence in the pinewood nematode
Abstract We assessed variation and covariation in life history traits of the forest pathogen Bursaphelenchus xylophilus from a native population in North America. We tested for relationships between life history traits and virulence. There was more than two-fold variation among isolates from the same forest in their population growth rates when ...

Early embryogenesis of the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus [PDF]
The early embryogenesis and cell lineage of the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus was followed from a single‐cell zygote to a 46‐cell embryo under Nomarski optics, and elongation of the microtubules was studied by immunostaining. As a B. xylophilus oocyte matures, it passes through a passage connecting the oviduct with the quadricolumella ...

The pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a causative agent of pine wilt disease (PWD). To date, although several molecular diagnostic methods have been developed, rapid on-site diagnostic tools for detecting PWN in pinewood are limited.
