Resumo(s)
The pinewood nematode (PWN) is the causal agent of pine wilt disease, a pathology that
affects conifer forests, mainly Pinus spp. PWN infection can induce the expression of phytohormonerelated
genes; however, changes at the early phytohormone level have not yet been explored. Phytohormones
are low-abundance metabolites, and thus, difficult to quantify. Moreover, most methodologies
focus mainly on Arabidopsis or crop species. This work aimed to validate a fast (run time
6.6 min) liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (LC-QqQ-MS/MS)
analytical method to quantify 14 phytohormones in Pinus pinaster stem tissues. This method was
further applied to evaluate, for the first time, early phytohormone changes in susceptible and resistant
phenotypes of P. pinaster 24, 48 and 72 h after inoculation (HAI) with PWN. A significant increase in
salicylic acid (SA, 48 and 72 HAI) and jasmonic acid methyl ester (JA-ME, 72 HAI) was observed in
susceptible phenotypes. Results indicate that the higher susceptibility of P. pinaster to PWN infection
might result from an inefficient trigger of hypersensitive responses, with the involvement of JA and
SA pathways. This work provides an important update in forest research, and adds to the current
knowledge of Pinus spp. defence responses to PWN infection
