This paper identifies SUGR1 as a master regulator in nematodes that orchestrates effector production, essential for host entry and parasitism, and shows blocking SUGR1 prevents parasitism.

This study identifies and characterizes the effectorome of the plant-parasitic nematode Heterodera schachtii, revealing 659 effector gene loci and providing insights into their origin, deployment, and evolution.

This study investigates the cellular changes in beech leaves infected by the nematode Litylenchus crenatae subsp. mccannii, revealing abnormal cell division and proliferation leading to interveinal banding patterns.

This study identifies nematode-produced sulfated peptides similar to bacterial virulence factors that promote plant root growth and nematode parasitism.

This paper uses eDNA metabarcoding to analyze spatial network structures of meiofaunal communities in estuaries, finding that niche-based processes drive their distribution.

The paper evaluates Trichoderma harzianum mutant lines for their ability to promote common bean growth and induce resistance against white mold caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
