A Bursaphelenchus xylophilus effector, Bx-FAR-1, suppresses plant defense and affects nematode infection of pine trees
2020-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus is an economically important pathogen that has caused serious damage to pine forests. Fatty acid and retinol-binding proteins (FARs) are nematode-specific proteins. One FAR gene, Bx-FAR-1, was identified from the transcriptome of B. xylophilus as a putative effector. It was upregulated in both highly and weakly virulent isolates in early infection stages. Transient expression assays show...
