@david1822.bsky.social🧬 The final paper of my PhD is out as a preprint on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social!
Do sister fungal antagonists elicit the same early response in the pinewood #nematode❓ Partly: at 1 h, Esteya floridanum elicited nearly 2× more DEGs than E. vermicola.
@david1822.bsky.social💡 Can designed microbial communities provide more consistent protection against the pinewood #nematode? Our preprint proposes a testable framework based on ecological compatibility, complementary functions and persistence within the pine #holobiont.
@nemamarta.bsky.social#Desmodorids are usually parasited by #epibionts (suctorian ciliates). This is so common, that you can find them drawn on the original description of desmodorid species.

@plantdiseasej.bsky.socialFindings from Pawan Basnet et al. highlight that continuous planting of soybean containing resistance genes can lead to shifts in soybean cyst #nematode populations toward more virulent types. Learn more: https://doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-09-25-1939-RE
@plantdiseasej.bsky.socialPine wilt disease, caused by the pinewood #nematode (PWN) #Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, devastates pine forests worldwide.
