Project description:to profile the adverse effects of an emamectin benzoate trunk-injection agent on pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus by analysing differential transcripts from the nematode whole genome through next-generation high-throughput sequencing.
Project description:This study compared the different gene expression of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus in two growth conditions (growing on Botrytis cinerea and inoculating Pinus thunbergii). The goal was to analyze the specifically-expressed genes of the pine wood nematode involved in the early interaction between B. xylophilus and P. thunbergii and screen the pathogenesis related genes of B. xylophilus.
Project description:DNA methylation is a pivotal process that regulates gene expression and facilitates rapid adaptation to challenging environments. The pine wood nematode (PWN; Bursaphelenchus xylophilus), the causative agent of pine wilt disease, survives and spreads at low temperatures through third-stage dispersal larvae, making it a major pathogen for pine wood in Asia. To comprehend the impact of DNA methylation on the formation and environmental adaptation of third-stage dispersal larvae, we conducted whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and transcriptional sequencing on both the third-stage dispersal larvae and three other stages propagative larvae of PWN.
