Plant biotechnology is a dynamically developing science, which comprises many fields of
knowledge. Novel plant genetic engineering findings highly influence the improvement of …

Plant genetic engineering has contributed substantially to the understanding of gene
regulation and plant development, in the generation of transgenic organisms for widespread …

A key feature of sedentary plant-parasitic nematodes is the release of effector proteins from
their esophageal gland cells through their stylets into host roots. These proteinaceous stylet …

▪ Abstract The feeding sites induced by sedentary root–endoparasitic nematodes have long
fascinated researchers. Nematode feeding sites are constructed from plant cells, modified by …

The ability of nematodes to live on plant hosts involves multiple parasitism genes. The most
pronounced morphological adaptations of nematodes for plant parasitism include a hollow …

Plant‐parasitic nematodes are major pests of both temperate and tropical agriculture. Many
of the most damaging species employ an advanced parasitic strategy in which they induce …

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are ubiquitous parasites with an amazing capacity to interact
with a very large variety of plant species. They are sedentary endoparasitic nematodes that …

Multigene transformation (MGT) is becoming routine in plant biotechnology as researchers
seek to generate more complex and ambitious phenotypes in transgenic plants. Every …

Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are obligate, sedentary endoparasites that infect
many plant species causing large economic losses worldwide. Available nematicides are …

Cyst nematodes are highly evolved sedentary plant endoparasites that use parasitism
proteins injected through the stylet into host tissues to successfully parasitize plants. These …
