This study shows that knocking down ABC transporters in tomato alters root exudate composition, repelling plant-parasitic nematodes while retaining attraction of beneficial bacteria.

This paper uses RNA interference to knock down a neuropeptide gene in Steinernema carpocapsae, showing its role in sensory perception and host-finding behaviors.

The paper uses RNAi to knock down sugar transporter genes in tomato roots, showing reduced glucose and fructose exudation affects infectivity of a generalist nematode but not a specialist one.
