P. atlantica subsp. Kurdica, with the local name of Baneh, is a wild medicinal plant which grows in Kurdistan, Iran. The identification of resistance gene analogs holds great promise for the development of resistant cultivars. A PCR approach with degenerate primers designed according to conserved NBS-LRR (nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat) regions of known disease-resistance (R) genes...

Pinus thunbergii (P. thunbergii) is a gymnosperm with important economic and ecological value. In order to investigate the diagnosis defense mechanism of P. against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (the pinewood nematode, PWN), needles seedlings on fifth day after being infected by PWN were taken as samples for transcriptome sequencing analysis. Compared control group, 647 genes differentially expres...
