Resistance to the soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a topic incorporating multiple
mechanisms and multiple types of science. It is also a topic of substantial agricultural …

Plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) and fungi cause biotic stress and are responsible for
considerable yield losses to different crops. PPN and fungi are very abundant …

To understand how the body of plants is made, it is essential to observe the morphology,
structure and arrangement of constituent cells. However, the opaque nature of the plant …

Plant‐parasitic cyst nematodes use a stylet to deliver effector proteins produced in
oesophageal gland cells into root cells to cause disease in plants. These effectors are …

Most effective nematicides for the control of root-knot nematodes are banned, which
demands a better understanding of the plant-nematode interaction. Understanding how …

Plant–parasitic cyst nematodes induce the formation of specialized feeding structures,
syncytia, within their host roots. These unique plant organs serve as the sole nutrient …

Mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MPK) cascades play central signalling roles in plant
immunity and stress response. The soybean orthologue of MPK kinase2 (GmMKK2) was …

Key message Resistance conferred by the Cre8 locus of wheat prevents cereal cyst
nematode feeding sites from reaching and invading root metaxylem vessels. Abstract Cyst …

Root-knot nematodes induce galls that contain giant-feeding cells harboring multiple
enlarged nuclei within the roots of host plants. It is recognized that the cell cycle plays an …

Although it is known that malaria parasites proliferate in the midgut of mosquito vector, their
detailed behaviors, from gamete maturation to formation of next generation sporozoite, have …
