Development of Microscopic Techniques for the Visualization of Plant-Root-Knot Nematode Interaction.

Plant-parasitic nematodes are a significant cause of yield losses and food security issues. Specifically, nematodes of the genus can cause significant production losses in horticultural crops around the world. Understanding the mechanisms of the ever-changing physiology of plant roots by imaging the galls induced by nematodes could provide a great insight into their control.
