The dynamics of expression of PR1 and PR6 genes, which are involved in the defense response of plants infected with the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita, was studied in the "tomato-root-knot nematode" parasitic system. The invasion of the resistant plants was accompanied by an increased accumulation of transcripts of PR genes, which reflects their fast response to the penetration of nematode juveniles with subsequent development of an adequate defense response. In the susceptible plants, changes in the PR1 and PR6 gene activity induced by the nematode invasion were insignificant, which may be one of the causes of the disease. An exogenous salicylic acid treatment of the susceptible plants increased the PR1 and PR6 genes activity and led to the development of resistance of these plants to nematode invasion.

Viral diseases of potatoes are among the main problems causing deterioration in the quality of tubers and loss of yield. The growth and development of potato plants largely depend on soil moisture. Prevention strategies require comprehensive protection against pathogens and abiotic stresses, including modeling the beneficial microbiome of agroecosystems combining microorganisms and immunostimulants.

Beneficial endophytic bacteria can suppress the development of insect pests through direct antagonism, with the help of metabolites, or indirectly by the induction of systemic resistance through the regulation of hormonal signaling pathways. Lipopeptides are bacterial metabolites that exhibit direct antagonistic activity against many organisms, including insects. Also, lipopeptides are able to trigger induced systemic resistance (ISR) in plants against harmful organisms, but the physiological mechanisms of their action are just beginning to be studied.

is, worldwide, one of the main causal agents of epiphytotics in potato plantings. Prevention strategies demand integrated pest management, including modeling of beneficial microbiomes of agroecosystems combining microorganisms and natural products. Chitooligosaccharides and their derivatives have great potential to be used by agrotechnology due to their ability to elicit plant immune reactions.

Tick control represent a great challenge to animal health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of acaricidal compounds against Rhipicephalus microplus from dairy cattle systems in Paraná State, Brazil. Six farms (PR1-PR6) were selected, where anti-tick products were applied at fixed intervals.
