Background: Aerobic rice fields are frequently infested by pathogenic oomycetes (Pythium spp.) and the rice root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola. Here, the interaction between Pythium arrhenomanes and Meloidogyne graminicola was studied in rice roots of two aerobic rice varieties. In different experimental set-ups and infection regimes, plant growth, rice yield, Pythium colonization, as well as establishment, development and reproduction of M. graminicola were studied.
Results: In this study, it is shown that the presence of P. arrhenomanes delays the establishment, development and reproduction of M. graminicola compared to single nematode infected plants. The delay in establishment and development of M. graminicola becomes stronger with higher P. arrhenomanes infection pressure.
Conclusions: Our data indicate that P. arrhenomanes antagonizes M. graminicola in the rice root and that the plant benefits from this antagonism as shown by the yield data, especially when either of the pathogens is present in high levels.

In the rice agroecosystems of Southeast Asia, rice root knot nematode (Meloidogyne graminicola) significantly impairs yield, representing a major species within the 'graminis-group' known for its morphological similarities with other root knot nematodes (RKNs). This study delves into the variations in reproductive potential, morphology, morphometrics, and genetic diversity among thirty RKN populations in rice across three distinct agroecological zones in Jharkhand, India. Despite notable differences in reproductive potential among the populations, morphological and morphometric correlations to reproductive potential were inconclusive.

Plants can transmit information to the next generation and modulate the phenotype of their offspring through epigenetic mechanisms. In this study, we demonstrate the activation of "intergenerational acquired resistance" (IAR) in the progeny of rice (Oryza sativa) plants exogenously treated with dehydroascorbate (DHA). The offspring of lifelong DHA-treated plants (DHA-IAR) were significantly less susceptible to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola and partially inherited the DHA-induced transcriptional response found in the parental plants.

Cover crop integration into grain crop rotations is a promising strategy for mitigating nematode-induced diseases in agriculture. However, the precise mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain elusive. Here, we first assessed the impact of five commonly used cover crops on the suppression of rice root-knot nematodes (RKNs).

Article Synopsis
- Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) cause major crop losses, leading researchers to explore biological control methods, specifically using a bacterium called Bacillus cereus G5 isolated from rice soil.
- Bacillus cereus G5 showed effectiveness in killing nematode larvae and preventing their eggs from hatching, while also promoting rice growth through its produced volatile compounds (VOCs).
- Fourteen VOCs were identified, with 1-octen-3-ol being particularly potent against nematodes, suggesting that G5 and its VOCs could be valuable for sustainable agricultural pest management.

Direct-seeded rice (DSR) is gaining popularity among farmers due to its environmentally safe and resource-efficient production system. However, managing the rice root-knot nematode (RRKN), , remains a major challenge in DSR cultivation. Developing genetic resistance is a pragmatic and effective approach compared to using hazardous pesticides.
