This study compares two Meloidogyne javanica strains, showing that a resistance-breaking strain has reduced egg production and impaired feeding site development on susceptible hosts.

This study identifies 6mA demethylases as key regulators of virulence in plant-parasitic nematodes and shows their potential as targets for sustainable control.

This study presents the genome and transcriptome of Pratylenchus vulnus, revealing evolutionary relationships, genomic features, and parasitism-related genes in a woody-plant nematode.

This study presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of Meloidogyne hapla, revealing recombination hotspots enriched with effector proteins involved in parasitism.

The paper presents a phased chromosome-scale genome assembly of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica, revealing its allotetraploid structure and subgenomic divergence.

This paper develops methods for delivering macromolecules and expressing exogenous mRNA in plant-parasitic nematodes, advancing functional genetic tools for these pests.
