Biological interactions between nematophagous fungi, Esteya spp., and the pinew...
Pires, David; Vicente, Claudia; Inacio, ML; Mota, ManuelThe pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a quarantine organism in several countries and the causal agent of pine wilt disease (PWD), a serious threat to pine forests worldwide. PWD results from complex interactions between the nematode, its insect vector, Monochamus spp., and host plants (conifers), being the nematode the common element in this interaction. The PWN is considered the sixth mos...
Plant Metabolomics for the control of the root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus pen...
Vicente, Claudia; Faria, Jorge; Teixeira, Dora; Vieira, Paulo; Espada, Margarida; Barbosa, Pedro; Figueiredo, Joana; Cardoso, Joana; Esteves, IvaniaPratylenchus penetrans, one of the most detrimental root-lesion nematode species, greatly reduces the production in numerous important agronomic crops (e.g., corn, potato), ornamental plants (e.g., lily, roses) and fruit trees (e.g., almond, cherry orchards). In the EU, P. penetrans has been reported as the most damaging species associated with potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). In Portugal, this species was also d...
