Deep modifications of the microbiome of rice roots infected by the parasitic nematode Meloidogyne graminicola in highly infested fields in Vietnam.

Meloidogyne graminicola, also known as the rice root-knot nematode, is one of the most damaging plant-parasitic nematode, especially on rice. This obligate soilborne parasite induces the formation of galls that disturb the root morphology and physiology. Its impact on the root microbiome is still not well described.
