Plant-parasitic nematodes engage in prolonged and intimate relationships with their host
plants, often involving complex alterations in host cell morphology and function. It is puzzling …

Transcription factors (TFs) are DNA-binding proteins that interact with other transcriptional
regulators, including chromatin remodeling/modifying proteins, to recruit or block access of …

The syncytium is a unique plant root organ whose differentiation is induced by plant-
parasitic cyst nematodes to create a source of nourishment. Syncytium formation involves …

Evidence is emerging that plant‐parasitic nematodes can secrete effectors to interfere with
the host immune response, but it remains unknown how these effectors can conquer host …

Cyst nematodes of the genus Heterodera are obligate, sedentary endoparasites that have
developed highly evolved relationships with specific host plant species. Successful …

Arabidopsis thaliana is a host for the sugar beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii.
Juvenile nematodes invade the roots and induce the development of a syncytium, which …

Cyst nematodes are sedentary plant parasites that cause dramatic cellular changes in the
plant root to form feeding cells, so-called syncytia. 10A06 is a cyst nematode secretory …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs that can have large‐scale regulatory
effects on development and on stress responses in plants. The endemic rust fungus …

Rice is one of the most important staple crops worldwide, but its yield is compromised by
different pathogens, including plant‐parasitic nematodes. In this study we have …

The expression pattern of pathogenesis‐related genes PR‐1 to PR‐5 was examined in the
roots and leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana plants on infection with beet‐cyst (Heterodera …
