This study uses 3D printing and deep learning to analyze parasite dynamics across hundreds of plant genotypes, identifying host genetic control of parasite traits and new QTLs.

This paper investigates how Meloidogyne incognita infects diverse plant species by analyzing transcriptomic responses across nine plant interactions, finding distinct transcriptional programs and effector deployment patterns that influence host specificity.

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.

The paper identifies susceptibility genes involved in trans-kingdom vitamin B synthesis between a plant-parasitic nematode and its host, revealing a horizontal gene transfer critical for parasitism.

This paper develops methods for delivering macromolecules and expressing exogenous mRNA in plant-parasitic nematodes, advancing functional genetic tools for these pests.
