Project: Broad-spectrum resistance to root knot nematodes by disruption of genes essential for feeding cell development

The root knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita is able to parasitize hundreds of plant species and is a major threat in nearly all vegetable-growing regions in the world. The most effective methods for nematode control are pesticides and the growth of resis
