Nematode effector proteins: an emerging paradigm of parasitism
Phytonematodes use a stylet and secreted effectors to modify host cells and ingest nutrients
to support their growth and development. The molecular function of nematode effectors is …

Loss of susceptibility as a novel breeding strategy for durable and broad-spectrum resistance
Recent studies on plant immunity have suggested that a pathogen should suppress induced
plant defense in order to infect a plant species, which otherwise would have been a nonhost …

[HTML][HTML] Genome sequence of the metazoan plant-parasitic nematode Meloidogyne incognita
Plant-parasitic nematodes are major agricultural pests worldwide and novel approaches to
control them are sorely needed. We report the draft genome sequence of the root-knot …

How nematodes manipulate plant development pathways for infection
G Gheysen, MG Mitchum - Current opinion in plant biology, 2011 - Elsevier
Sedentary plant-parasitic nematodes establish long term relationships with their hosts. Root
vascular cells are transformed into large multinucleate feeding cells from which the …

Plant cytokinesis: terminology for structures and processes
Plant cytokinesis is orchestrated by a specialized structure, the phragmoplast. The
phragmoplast first occurred in representatives of Charophyte algae and then became the …

Nematode feeding sites: unique organs in plant roots
Although generally unnoticed, nearly all crop plants have one or more species of nematodes
that feed on their roots, frequently causing tremendous yield losses. The group of sedentary …
