Is Associated With Motility, Reproduction, and Pathogenicity of the Plant-Parasitic Nematode .

Pine wilt disease (PWD) caused by is considered a major threat to pine forests worldwide. Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) catalyze the conjugation of small lipophilic compounds with sugars and play crucial roles in the detoxification and homeostatic processes in all living organisms. We investigated the molecular characteristics and biological functions of the gene that encodes UGTs in .

Transcriptomic profiling of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus reveals differentially expressed genes in response to ethanol.

Pinewood releases ethanol and other volatile compounds after Bursaphelenchus xylophilus infection. In the current study, we examined the influence of different ethanol concentrations on B. xylophilus reproduction.
