Establishment of a set of inbred strains of the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Aphelenchida: Aphelenchoididae), and evidence of their varying levels of virulence
Tóm tắt
Pine wilt disease (PWD) caused by the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner and Buhrer) Nickle, has become a worldwide problem. The pathogenic mechanism of PWD continues to remain controversial, which in part may be attributed to the lack of universal materials of B. xylophilus with a high genetic purity. The intrinsic high genetic diversity in B. xylophilus isolates/populations must be a fatal obstacle for performing forward genetics and other molecular approaches to controlling them. We conducted a series of successive full-sib mating of conventional isolates of B. xylophilus to establish a set of inbred strains. Using DNA markers, we also determined their genetic diversity and biological characteristics, such as virulence and reproductive ability. Consequently, the newly established strains yielded a higher genetic purity than the conventional isolates and showed varying virulence despite sharing a common ancestor. The significance of this study lies not only in establishing a set of inbred strains of B. xylophilus with the certification of their purity but also in demonstrating that avirulent strain(s) with a genotype similar to the virulent strains can be obtained by simple successive full-sib mating. This technique is one of the most powerful tools for elucidating the pathogenic mechanism(s) of PWD.
