Functional chitinases enhancing Pinus massoniana resistance to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus

Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, poses a severe threat to coniferous forests, particularly impacting Pinus massoniana. Chitinases, essential defense‐related enzymes, degrade chitin in pathogen cell walls to inhibit infection. However, their roles in conifer resistance against nematodes remain poorly understood. This study investigated the functions of two class IV chitinases, PmChia4‐1 and PmChia4‐4, in P. massoniana and their potential to bolster defenses against B. xylophilus.
