Genes for early detection of pinewood nematode infection and diagnostic kits and methods using the genes

摘要

The present invention provides a specific gene whose expression pattern is different in pine trees when infected with pine reindeer nematode disease, that is, a gene for diagnosing pine nematode infection, a method for diagnosing pine nematode disease using the same, and a kit for diagnosing pine tree nematodes. According to the present invention, it is possible to early diagnose whether a pine tree is infected with pine tree nematode disease but does not show external symptoms, and through this, the spread of pine tree nematode disease can be prevented early.
