Pathotypes of the Pinewood Nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus.
An isolate of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus from Pinus sylvestris in Missouri infected and reproduced in 2-3-year-old seedlings of P. sylvestris and to some extent in seedlings of P. nigra. Wilting, however, occurred only in P. sylvestris. B. xylophilus isolated from P. strobus in Vermont infected and reproduced only in P. strobus seedlings. P. taeda seedlings were resistant to both of these isola...
متن کاملDecline and Death of Pinus spp. in Delaware Caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus.
Etiological studies to determine the cause of decline and death of Pinus spp. in Delaware were initiated in 1980. The pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, was found to be the major canse of mortality in Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii). When inoculated into healthy 5-yr-old Japanese black pines, B. xylophilus produced typical decline symptoms observed in the field. The xylophilo...
متن کاملInfluence of Bxpel1 Gene Silencing by dsRNA Interference on the Development and Pathogenicity of the Pine Wood Nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus
As the causal agent of pine wilt disease (PWD), the pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, causes huge economic losses by devastating pine forests worldwide. The pectate lyase gene is essential for successful invasion of their host plants by plant-parasitic nematodes. To demonstrate the role of pectate lyase gene in the PWD process, RNA interference (RNAi) is used to analyze the ...
متن کاملPhytotoxin Production in Bursaphelenchus xylophilus-Infected Pinus sylvestris.
Our findings suggest that i) phytotoxic materials can be isolated from Bursaphelenchus xylophilus-infected Scots pine, but not from noninfected pines; ii) the phytotoxins cause wilting of 45-day-old and 2-year-old pine seedlings in a dose and species dependent manner; iii) the phytotoxins are produced early in the infection, accumulate or increase with time, and may function to suppress water t...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Nonparasitic Isolate of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus.
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus isolate MPSy-1av was subcultured from pathotype MPSy-1. MPSy-1av is nonparasitic and does not establish in Pinus sylvestris, P. strobus, P. nigra, or P. taeda. This isolate produces ethanol as an end product of carbohydrate metabolism, whereas its parent pathotype, MPSy-1, does not. Alcohol dehydrogenase activity was easily detectable in homogenates of MPSy-1av but ba...
