ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (ERF) genes modulate plant root exudate composition and the attraction of plant parasitic nematodes

S. Dyer, R. T. Weir, D. Cox, X. Cheseto, B. Torto, J. J. Dalzell

This study shows that knocking down ERF-E2 in tomato increases root exudate attractiveness to certain plant parasitic nematodes but not others, while ERF-E3 knockdown has no effect.

ABC transporters alter plant-microbe-parasite interactions in the rhizosphere

D. Cox, S. Dyer, R. Weir, X. Cheseto, M. Sturrock, D. Coyne, B. Torto, A. G. Maule, J. J. Dalzell

This study shows that knocking down ABC transporters in tomato alters root exudate composition, repelling plant-parasitic nematodes while retaining attraction of beneficial bacteria.
