Fungal communities of the Pine Wilt Disease Complex: Studying the Interaction o...
Vicente, C. S. L.; Soares, Miguel; Faria, J. M. S.; Margarida, Espada; Manuel, Mota; Filomena, Nóbrega; Ana Paula, Ramos; Maria Lurdes, InácioConsidered one of the most devastating plant–parasitic nematodes worldwide, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (commonly known as pinewood nematode, PWN) is the causal agent of the pine wilt disease in the Eurasian coniferous forests. This migratory parasitic nematode is carried by an insect vector (Monochamus spp.) into the host tree (Pinus species), where it can feed on parenchymal cells and reproduce massively, resu...
Profiling mycobiota communities associated with the Pine Wilt Disease
Claudia, Vicente; Jorge, Faria; Filomena, Nobrega; Helena, Bragança; Luis, Bonifacio; Pedro, Naves; Edmundo, Sousa; Margarida, Espada; Manuel, MotaPine wilt Disease (PWD) is one of the most damaging diseases for conifer forests worldwide. This complex disease involves the interaction between three primary biological elements - the pinewood nematode (PWN) Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, the insect-vector Monochamus sp., and the host tree Pinus spp. – and other secondary elements such as endophytic bacteria and fungi. The development of B. xylophilus is strongl...
