Pinus pinaster early hormonal defence responses to pinewood nematode (Bursaphel...
Rodrigues, Ana M.; Langer, Swen; Carrasquinho, Isabel; Bergstrom, Ed; Larson, Tony; Thomas-Oates, Jane; António, CarlaThe pinewood nematode (PWN) is the causal agent of pine wilt disease, a pathology that affects conifer forests, mainly Pinus spp. PWN infection can induce the expression of phytohormonerelated genes; however, changes at the early phytohormone level have not yet been explored. Phytohormones are low-abundance metabolites, and thus, difficult to quantify. Moreover, most methodologies focus mainly on Arabidopsis or...
