Roots anchor plants to the soil, providing them with nutrients and water while creating a
defence network and facilitating beneficial interactions with a multitude of living organisms …

Summary Root‐knot nematodes (RKNs; Meloidogyne spp.) induce new post‐embryogenic
organs within the roots (galls) where they stablish and differentiate nematode feeding cells …

Root‐knot nematodes (RKNs) induce giant cells (GCs) within galls which are characterized
by large‐scale gene repression at early stages. However, the epigenetic mechanism (s) …

Root knot nematodes (RKN s) penetrate into the root vascular cylinder, triggering
morphogenetic changes to induce galls, de novo formed 'pseudo‐organs' containing several …

Developmental plasticity is one of the most striking features of plant morphogenesis, as
plants are able to vary their shapes in response to environmental cues. Biotic or abiotic …

SUMMARY Root‐knot nematodes (RKNs, Meloidogyne spp.) are sedentary biotrophic
pathogens that establish within the vascular cylinder of plant roots, forming a gall and …

Cysts (CNs) and root-knot nematodes (RKNs) induce specialized feeding cells, syncytia,
and giant cells (GCs), respectively, within plant roots. The plant tissues around the GCs …

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs; Meloidogyne spp.) induce feeding cells (giant cells; GCs)
inside a pseudo-organ (gall) from still unknown root cells. Understanding GCs ontogeny is …

Parasites and pathogens are known to manipulate the host's endogenous signaling
pathways to facilitate the infection process. In particular, plant-parasitic root-knot nematodes …

Root‐knot nematodes (RKNs; Meloidogyne spp.) are a major pest for the agriculture
worldwide. RKNs induce specialized feeding cells (giant cells, GCs) inside galls which are …
