Climate change significantly impacts crop production by inducing several abiotic and biotic
stresses. The increasing world population, and their food and industrial demands require …

Nematodes are omnipresent in nature including many species which are parasitic to plants
and cause enormous economic losses in various crops. During the process of parasitism …

Plants' response to pathogens is highly complex and involves changes at different levels,
such as activation or repression of a vast array of genes. Recently, many studies have …
