Due to climate change, population explosion, shrinkage of arable land and reduced water
availability, a paradigm shift in global crop production is occurring towards protected …

For more than four decades, the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been
extensively used in anthelmintic research. Classic genetic screens and heterologous …

Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are notorious plant-parasitic nematodes that affect
agricultural crops. These obligate soil-dwelling parasites typically maneuver the host plant …

Root-knot nematodes (genus Meloidogyne) are the major contributor to crop losses caused
by nematodes. These nematodes secrete effector proteins into the plant, derived from two …

Key message This study establishes possibility of combinatorial silencing of more than one
functional gene for their efficacy against root-knot nematode, M. incognita. Abstract Root …

Nematode chemosensation is a vital component of their host-seeking behavior. The globally
important phytonematode Meloidogyne incognita perceives and responds (via sensory …

Plant-parasitic, root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are a serious problem in agri-and
horticultural crops worldwide. Understanding their complex host recognition process is …

The cereal cyst nematode, Heterodera avenae is distributed worldwide and causes
substantial damage in bread wheat, Triticum aestivum. This nematode is extremely difficult …

Plant nematodes are major threat to crop production. They cause significant damage to
agricultural crops and suppress their yields. While many methods of control have been …

The aversive behavior of Caenorhabditis elegans is an important strategy that increases
their survival under pathogen infection, and the molecular mechanisms underlying this …
