Symptoms of pine wilt disease (PWD) are caused when pathogenic pine wood nematodes (PWN) invade healthy host trees via wounds created by adult Monochamus alternatus. Exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) can trigger terpene‐based induced defense in conifers, which is a core part of the conifer defense system. Herein, we hypothesized that the terpene‐based plant defense induced by MeJA could negatively affect the feeding behavior of M. alternatus adults, and may contribute to a new strategy in the control of PWD.

茉莉酸诱导的马尾松中基于萜烯的防御抑制了松褐天牛成虫的摄食。

当致病性松木线虫（PWN）通过成年松褐天牛造成的伤口侵入健康寄主树时，就会引起松树枯萎病（PWD）的症状。外来茉莉酸甲酯（MeJA）可以触发针叶树中基于萜烯的诱导防御，这是针叶树防御系统的核心部分。在这里，我们假设通过茉莉酸诱导萜烯类植物防御可能产生负面影响的摄食行为松褐天牛成虫，并在PWD的控制可能会导致新的战略。
