WOX11-mediated cell size control in Arabidopsis attenuates fecundity of endoparasitic cyst nematodes

N. Guarneri, J.-J. Willig, V. Willemsen, A. Goverse, M. G. Sterken, P. Nibbering, J. L. Lozano-Torres, G. Smant

This study shows that WOX11 restricts nematode syncytium size and fecundity by modulating cell wall plasticity via ROS, independent of its role in disease tolerance.

WOX11-mediated adventitious lateral root formation modulates tolerance of Arabidopsis to cyst nematode infections

J.-J. Willig, N. Guarneri, T. van Loon, S. Wahyuni, I. E. Astudillo-Estevez, L. Xu, V. Willemsen, A. Goverse, M. G. Sterken, J. L. Lozano-Torres, J. Bakker, G. Smant

This study shows that WOX11-mediated adventitious lateral root formation in Arabidopsis helps compensate for nematode-induced primary root growth inhibition, enhancing tolerance to cyst nematode infections.

Selection and gene flow shape niche-associated copy-number variation of pheromone receptor genes

D. Lee, S. Zdraljevic, D. E. Cook, L. Frezal, J.-C. Hsu, M. G. Sterken, J. A. G. Riksen, J. Wang, J. E. Kammenga, C. Braendle, M.-A. Felix, F. C. Schroeder, E. C. Andersen

The paper shows that copy-number variation of pheromone receptor genes in C. elegans is shaped by selection and gene flow, contributing to differences in pheromone responses across habitats.
