Overexpression of cotton genes and in improves plant resistance to root-knot nematode () infection.

Unlabelled: L. represents the best cotton species for fiber production, thus computing the largest cultivated area worldwide. is a root-knot nematode (RKN) and one of the most important species of genus, which has a wide host range, including cotton plants.

A Chemosensory GPCR as a Potential Target to Control the Root-Knot Nematode Parasitism in Plants.

Root-knot nematodes (RKN), from the genus, have a worldwide distribution and cause severe economic damage to many life-sustaining crops. Because of their lack of specificity and danger to the environment, most chemical nematicides have been banned from use. Thus, there is a great need for new and safe compounds to control RKN.

Rice susceptibility to root-knot nematodes is enhanced by the Meloidogyne incognita MSP18 effector gene.

This study revealed novel insights into the function of MSP18 effector during root-knot nematode parasitism in rice roots. MSP18 may modulate host immunity and enhance plant susceptibility to Meloidogyne spp. Rice (Oryza sativa) production is seriously impacted by root-knot nematodes (RKN), including Meloidogyne graminicola, Meloidogyne incognita, and Meloidogyne javanica, in upland and irrigated culture systems.

Seed-Specific Stable Expression of the α-AI1 Inhibitor in Coffee Grains and the Implications for the Development of the Coffee Berry Borer.

Genetic transformation of coffee ( spp.), the second most traded commodity worldwide, is an alternative approach to introducing features that cannot be introgressed by traditional crossings. The transgenic stability, heritability and quantitative and spatial expression patterns of the seed-specific promoter phytohemagglutinin (PHA-L) from were characterized in genetically modified expressing the α-amylase inhibitor-1 () gene.
