Background and Objectives: To determine whether the progeny of pinewood nematode-resistant Pinus thunbergii Parl. clones selected in the southwestern region of Japan could be successful in reforestation in the northern region, we investigated the mag...
Pinus thunbergii Parl. is an economically and medicinally important plant, as well as a world-renowned horticultural species of the Pinus genus. Pine wilt disease is a dangerous condition that affects P. thunbergii. However, understanding of the gene...
To accelerate breeding of Pinus massoniana Lamb. resistance to pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, a protocol was established for the in vitro propagation of P. massoniana and the evaluation of...
Drug resistance among parasitic nematodes has resulted in an urgent need for the development of new therapies. However, the high re-discovery rate of anti-nematode compounds from terrestrial environments necessitates a new repository for future drug...
Anthelmintic resistance among GINs in cattle is a worldwide issue. Identifying the early signs of anthelmintic resistance (AR) is necessary to sustainably manage bovine parasitic infections. This study aimed to evaluate the resistance status of bovin...
Beet cyst nematode (Heterodera schachtii Schm.) is one of the most damaging pests in sugar beet growing areas around the world. The Hs1pro-1 and cZR3 genes confer resistance to the beet cyst nematode, and both were cloned from sugar beet translocatio...
Root-knot nematode (RKN) species are predominant pests of crops, attacking stone fruit crops Prunus spp. under Mediterranean climate conditions worldwide. Natural resistance for rootstock breeding is a control method that is gaining interest as an al...
Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), a member of the Malvaceae family, has gained increasing research interest owing to its therapeutic attributes. Among pathogens affecting tropical kenaf cultivation, Meloidogyne enterolobii is the most economically dest...
Serine protease is an extracellular protease secreted by biocontrol fungi that can effectively control nematode diseases by degrading nematode eggshells and enhancing plant resistance. Trichoderma longibrachiatum T6, an important biocontrol fungus, h...
Pine wilt disease, caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a highly destructive and contagious forest affliction. Often termed the “cancer” of pine trees, it severely impacts the growth of Masson pine (Pinus massoniana). Previous studies...
Symbiotic microorganisms in the intestinal tract can influence the general fitness of their hosts and contribute to protecting them against invading pathogens. In this study, we obtained isolate Phytobacter diazotrophicus SCO41 from the gut of free-l...
The ABI3 transcription factor is a key regulator in plant growth and development. Through transcriptome analysis of the resistant soybean cultivar ‘Dongnong L10′ and the susceptible cultivar ‘Heinong 37′ exposed to soybean cys...
Multigeneic QTL present significant problems to analysis. Resistance to soybean (Glycine max (L) Merr.) sudden death syndrome (SDS) caused by Fusarium virguliforme was partly underlain by QRfs2 that was clustered with, or pleiotropic to, the multigen...
Pine wilt disease (PWD) caused by the pinewood nematode (PWN) (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nickle) is a worldwide issue. Infection is considered to be promoted mainly by the increased air temperature, but it is important to invest...
Soybean is crucial to food processing and agricultural output. However, pests and diseases can easily impact soybeans, reducing their production. Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a soilborne pathogen that has a large geographic range, a long lifespan,...
Root-knot nematode (RKN) infections are among the most serious soil-borne diseases in the world, and tomato is a common host of RKNs. WRKY transcription factors are involved in complex, diverse biological processes in plants. In a previous study, a r...
The root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) causes huge economic losses in the agricultural industry throughout the world. Control methods against these polyphagous plant endoparasites are sparse, the preferred one being the deployment of plant cu...
Background: Pinus massoniana is a significant lipid-producing tree species in China and a susceptible host for both the pine wood nematode and its insect vector, Monochamus alternatus. The basic helix–loop–helix (bHLH) family of transcrip...
Internal parasitism, a significant cause of production losses in sheep, is routinely controlled by anthelmintic drenches. A better understanding and alternative control strategies are needed to combat the increasing resistance. This study investigate...
Ostertagia ostertagi is the most pathogenic gastrointestinal nematode of cattle and causes major productivity losses. With rising anthelmintic resistance and significant economic impact, alternative control measures, such as vaccination, are urgently...
