The SUbventral-Gland master Regulator (SUGR) of nematode virulence

This paper identifies SUGR1 as a master regulator in nematodes that orchestrates effector production, essential for host entry and parasitism, and shows blocking SUGR1 prevents parasitism.

The origin, deployment, and evolution of a plant-parasitic nematode effectorome

This study identifies and characterizes the effectorome of the plant-parasitic nematode Heterodera schachtii, revealing 659 effector gene loci and providing insights into their origin, deployment, and evolution.

Cellular insights of beech leaf disease reveal abnormal ectopic cell division of symptomatic interveinal leaf areas

This study investigates the cellular changes in beech leaves infected by the nematode Litylenchus crenatae subsp. mccannii, revealing abnormal cell division and proliferation leading to interveinal banding patterns.

Root-knot nematodes produce functional mimics of tyrosine-sulfated plant peptides

This study identifies nematode-produced sulfated peptides similar to bacterial virulence factors that promote plant root growth and nematode parasitism.

The spatial network structure of intertidal meiofaunal communities derived from environmental DNA metabarcoding surveys in Northwest Iberia

This paper uses eDNA metabarcoding to analyze spatial network structures of meiofaunal communities in estuaries, finding that niche-based processes drive their distribution.

A wave of embryonic bipotent T/lymphoid tissue inducer progenitors regulates the maturation of medullary thymic epithelial cells.

Evaluation of Trichoderma harzianum mutant lines in the resistance induction against white mold and growth promotion of common bean

The paper evaluates Trichoderma harzianum mutant lines for their ability to promote common bean growth and induce resistance against white mold caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
