Multi-omics analysis of Bacillus-associated suppression of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus disease symptoms and candidate defense responses in Pinus thunbergii
Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus , is a devastating threat to pine forests worldwide. This study evaluated the biocontrol potential of two Bacillus strains, Bacillus thuringiensis B122 and Bacillus velezensis B223, isolated from post-logging rhizosphere soil, to suppress PWD sym...
