Insights into the lysine acetylation in growth and pathogenicity for pine wilt nematode <i>Bursaphelenchus xylophilus</i>
We provide the first evidence that (1) acetylation exerts profound effects on PWN growth, virulence, and stress tolerance, and (2) that defines the repertoire and functional roles of acetylated proteins in PWN. This dual discovery offers a new perspective for dissecting PWN pathogenicity and identifying innovative control targets, while laying the groundwork for acetylation-centered virulence studies. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
