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 study identifies DGR-1 as a transcription factor that switches from lytic to biotrophic effector production in plant-parasitic nematodes, working antagonistically with SUGR-1 to regulate effector expression during infection.

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 paper develops qPCR methods to detect adulterants in six spices and herbs, validating their sensitivity and versatility for authenticity testing.

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.

The paper analyzes the spatio-temporal gene expression of Meloidogyne incognita across its life stages and identifies a conserved promoter motif associated with effector genes.
