Exploring the role of detoxification genes in the resistance of Bursaphelenchus xylophilus to different exogenous nematicidal substances using transcriptomic analyses

Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier Inc..

Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Pine wood nematode, PWN) has become a worldwide forest disease due to its rapid infection ability, high lethality and difficulty in control. The main means of countering B. xylophilus is currently chemical control, but nematicides can present problems such as environmental pollution and drug resistance. The development of novel environmentally-friendly nematicides has thus become a focus of recent research. In this study, BxUGT3 and BxUGT34, which might be related to detoxification, were investigated by comparing transcriptomic and WGCNA approaches. Three other genes with a similar expression pattern, BxUGT13, BxUGT14, and BxUGT16, were found by gene family analysis. Further bioassays and qPCR assays confirmed that these five genes showed significant changes in transcript levels upon exposure to α-pinene and carvone, demonstrating that they respond to exogenous nematicidal substances. Finally, RNAi and bioassays showed that B. xylophilus with silenced BxUGT16 had increased mortality in the face of α-pinene and carvone stress, suggesting that BxUGT16 plays an important role in detoxification. Taken together, this study used novel molecular research methods, explored the detoxification mechanism of B. xylophilus at a transcriptomic level, and revealed a molecular target for the development of novel biopesticides.
