Biochemical Defence of Plants against Parasitic Nematodes.

Plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs), such as spp., spp. and spp.

ROS Detection and Quantification in Plant-Nematode Interactions.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation is one of the earliest hallmarks upon successful pathogen recognition in plants. HO is considered the most important ROS in plant defense considering its relatively high stability and capacity to cross long distances in the plant. However, ROS also play roles in cell development and could hence facilitate nematode feeding site development.

Cucurbitaceae COld Peeling Extracts (CCOPEs) Protect Plants From Root-Knot Nematode Infections Through Induced Resistance and Nematicidal Effects.

With nematicides progressively being banned due to their environmental impact, an urgent need for novel and sustainable control strategies has arisen. Stimulation of plant immunity, a phenomenon referred to as "induced resistance" (IR), is a promising option. In this study, Cucurbitaceae COld Peeling Extracts (CCOPEs) were shown to protect rice () and tomato () against the root-knot nematodes and , respectively.
