The sedentary endoparasitic nematodes, Meloidogyne species, induce the formation of
permanent feeding structures in the roots and alter the morpho-physiological and molecular …

Background and aims Meloidogyne arenaria is an economically important root-knot
nematode species. Successful plant infection by nematode is facilitated by parasite effectors …

Key message The overexpression of the soybean GmEXPA1 gene reduces plant
susceptibility to M. incognita by the increase of root lignification. Abstract Plant expansins …

The root-knot nematode (RKN), Meloidogyne incognita, is a devastating soybean pathogen
worldwide. The use of resistant cultivars is the most effective method to prevent economic …

Root‐knot nematodes (RKN; Meloidogyne species) are plant pathogens that introduce
several effectors in their hosts to facilitate infection. The actual targets and functioning …

Meloidogyne incognita is one of the most important plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs)
causing severe crop losses worldwide. Plants have evolved complex defense mechanisms …

Root-knot nematodes are an important group of plant pathogens that mainly infect plant
roots. They establish a feeding site in the host upon infection while secreting hundreds of …

Key message Heterologous expression of a nematode-responsive promoter in tomato
successfully driven the RNAi constructs to impart root-knot nematode resistance. Abstract …

Plant‐parasitic nematodes secrete several effectors that suppress host PAMP‐triggered
immunity for successful parasitism. Here, we have characterized a novel effector from the …

Main conclusion The ex vitro hairy root system from petioles of detached soybean leaves
allows the functional validation of genes using classical transgenesis and CRISPR …
