The anti-phytoalexin gene Bx-cathepsin W supports the survival of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus under Pinus massoniana phytoalexin stress

Abstract Background Pine trees challenged by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus invasion produce phytoalexins to combat this nematode. Nevertheless, the phytoalexins of Asian pine trees are ineffective against B. xylophilus. The anti-phytoalexin genes of B. xylophilus disable almost all Asian pine phytoalex...
