This study explores the latest advancements in research on the disease resistance mechanisms of pine trees, emphasizing the significance of genes in pine disease resistance. Pines are susceptible to a variety of diseases caused by fungi and nematodes, such as needle blight and pine wilt disease. This paper presents the pathogens involved in different pine diseases and their infection mechanisms, analyzing the impacts of these diseases on pine forests and ecosystems. By identifying and utilizing resistance genes, the disease resistance of pine trees can be enhanced. The article also discusses the application of molecular biology and genomics techniques in the identification of resistance genes, such as SNP mapping and transcriptomic analysis, and explores methods for gene cloning, expression, and functional verification. Finally, the paper highlights the impact of environmental and ecological factors on transgenic pines, noting the importance of integrated approaches in forest management and breeding programs.
