The aim of this review was to undertake a survey of researchers working with plant‐parasitic
nematodes in order to determine a 'top 10'list of these pathogens based on scientific and …

Plants synthesize jasmonates (JAs) in response to developmental cues or environmental
stresses, in order to coordinate plant growth, development or defense against pathogens …

Plant-parasitic nematodes are costly burdens of crop production. Ubiquitous in nature,
phytoparasitic nematodes are associated with nearly every important agricultural crop and …

The constant struggle between plants and microbes has driven the evolution of multiple
defense strategies in the host as well as offense strategies in the pathogen. To defend …

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs), such as root-knot nematodes (RKNs) and cyst
nematodes (CNs), are among the most devastating pests in agriculture. RKNs and CNs …

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 …

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs; Meloidogyne spp.) engage in complex parasitic interactions
with many different host plants around the world, initiating elaborate feeding sites and …

Plant parasitic nematodes are a major problem for growers worldwide, causing severe crop
losses. Several conventional strategies, such as chemical nematicides and biofumigation …

Summary Taxonomy Superkingdom Eukaryota; Kingdom Metazoa; Phylum Nematoda;
Class Chromadorea; Order Tylenchida; Suborder Tylenchina; Infraorder Tylenchomorpha; …

Most plant-parasitic nematodes are obligate biotrophs feeding on the roots of their hosts.
Whereas ectoparasites remain on the root surface and feed on the outer cell layers …
