Project: Parasitic nematodes modulate common protease-based activation of host innate immunity in plants and animals
Parasitic nematodes are a major threat to plant, animal and human health. A common characteristic of plant- and animal-parasitic nematodes is their... -
Project: Rational selection of natural and durable resistances in vegetables by exploiting the genome sequence of root-knot nematodes
Recent legislation has banned the use of most pesticides to control nematode infections in vegetable production in Europe. Vegetable growers therefore...
