Most plant-parasitic nematodes are obligate biotrophs feeding on the roots of their hosts.
Whereas ectoparasites remain on the root surface and feed on the outer cell layers, …

Plant-parasitic nematodes are destructive pests causing losses of billions of dollars annually.
An effective plant defence against pathogens relies on the recognition of pathogen-…

Sedentary plant-parasitic cyst nematodes are biotrophs that cause significant losses in
agriculture. Parasitism is based on modifications of host root cells that lead to the formation of a …

Heterodera schachtii, a plant‐parasitic cyst nematode, invades host roots and induces a
specific syncytial feeding structure, from which it withdraws all required nutrients, causing …

Plants and animals produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to infection. In
plants, ROS not only activate defense responses and promote cell death to limit the spread of …

Highlights • Cyst and root-knot nematodes establish neoplastic feeding sites in roots of their
host plants. • Plant hormones and small RNAs play a role in feeding site formation and …

Plant-parasitic nematodes spend much of their lives inside or in contact with host tissue, and
molecular interactions constantly occur and shape the outcome of parasitism. Eggs of these …

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are known to increase plant tolerance to several
abiotic stresses, specifically those from dry and salty environments. In this study, we examined …

Plants are exposed to cellular damage by mechanical stresses, herbivore feeding, or invading
microbes. Primary wound responses are communicated to neighboring and distal tissues …

There is at present no clear indication for surgical removal of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH)
in the majority of patients. With deterioration from an initially good level of consciousness, …
