Article Synopsis
- - Plant-parasitic nematodes negatively impact global food security by secreting effectors that manipulate host plants' biology, suppress immune responses, and create feeding structures for nutrition.
- - Researchers have identified and characterized the effector repertoire of the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii, discovering 717 effector gene loci that include both known and novel effectors with high expression in gland cells.
- - This study provides the most comprehensive effector catalog for any plant-parasitic nematode, enhancing our understanding of nematode pathology and paving the way for improved crop protection strategies.
