Sister species, shared and divergent responses: early transcriptomic profiling of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus exposed to Esteya spp
Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (pinewood nematode, PWN) responds transcriptionally to nematophagous fungi, but the earliest events preceding cuticle penetration are poorly characterized, and whether closely related fungal antagonists elicit comparable responses is unknown. Here, we compared PWN transcriptomic responses to...
