The paper investigates whether diversity at the HYP1 locus in potato cyst nematodes arises from developmental editing or sequencing errors, concluding it is due to evolutionary forces.

This study investigates how hatching time affects the parasitism of beet cyst nematodes, finding that late hatchers are more infective due to differences in energy use and gene expression.

This study uses 3D printing and deep learning to analyze parasite dynamics across hundreds of plant genotypes, identifying host genetic control of parasite traits and new QTLs.

This paper investigates how Meloidogyne incognita infects diverse plant species by analyzing transcriptomic responses across nine plant interactions, finding distinct transcriptional programs and effector deployment patterns that influence host specificity.

The paper characterizes yeast strains with multiple amino acid transporter deletions and performs whole-genome sequencing to provide a resource for studying amino acid transport.

The paper discovers unprecedented allelic variation in HYP effectors of plant-parasitic nematodes, revealing a novel mechanism of programmed genetic variation called HVD-editing.

The paper identifies susceptibility genes involved in trans-kingdom vitamin B synthesis between a plant-parasitic nematode and its host, revealing a horizontal gene transfer critical for parasitism.
