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.
