Background Plant–parasitic nematode interactions occur within a vast molecular plant
immunity network. Following initial contact with the host plant roots, plant-parasitic …

The constant interactions between plants and pathogens in the environment and the
resulting outcomes are of significant importance for agriculture and agricultural scientists …

Among plant-parasitic nematodes, the root-knot nematodes (RKNs) of the Meloidogyne spp.
are the most economically important genus. RKN are root parasitic worms able to infect …

Key message Genome resolution of a major QTL associated with the Rk locus in cowpea for
resistance to root-knot nematodes has significance for plant breeding programs and R gene …

Background Cowpea is a dryland crop with potential to improve food security in sub-
Saharan Africa, where it is mostly produced and consumed. Contemporary plant …

Wild peanut relatives (Arachis spp.) are genetically diverse and were adapted to a range of
environments during the evolution course, constituting an important source of allele diversity …

Abstract Background Aegilops variabilis No. 1 is highly resistant to cereal cyst nematode
(CCN). However, a lack of genomic information has restricted studies on CCN resistance …

Background Root-knot nematodes (RKN–Meloidogyne genus) present extensive challenges
to soybean crop. The soybean line (PI 595099) is known to be resistant against specific …

This study aimed to evaluated the resistance and susceptibility of 10 cowpea cultivars to
Meloidogyne incognita in field studies and to analyze the kinetics of the enzymes …

Abstract Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid and White) Chitwood (Mi) is the most economically
damaging species of the root-knot nematode to soybean and other crops in the southern …
