A transcription factor-pair work in concert to regulate gene expression across the life cycle of the pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Madalena Mendonça, Anika Damm, Chongjing Xia…·Margarida Espada

This study identifies two transcription factors in Bursaphelenchus xylophilus that non-redundantly regulate gene expression across its life cycle, with distinct roles in parasitism and reproduction.

Mycobiome of Pinus pinaster trees naturally infected by the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Cláudia S. L. Vicente, Ana Rita Varela, Anna Maria Vettraino…·Maria L. Inácio

The paper analyzes the mycobiome of Pinus pinaster trees infected by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, finding that PWN presence alters fungal community diversity and structure, with Ophiostomatales dominance in infected trees.
