3D printing and deep learning enable holistic and dynamic analyses of tens of thousands of parasites infecting hundreds of genotypes

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.

The host range paradox of Meloidogyne incognita: a physiological and transcriptomic analysis of nine susceptible interactions across six plant orders

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.

Antagonistic action of a nuclear hormone receptor pair coordinates a switch from lytic to biotrophic effector production in a plant-parasitic nematode

This study identifies DGR-1 as a transcription factor that switches from lytic to biotrophic effector production in plant-parasitic nematodes, working antagonistically with SUGR-1 to regulate effector expression during infection.

A robust set of qPCR methods to evaluate adulteration in major spices and herbs

This paper develops qPCR methods to detect adulterants in six spices and herbs, validating their sensitivity and versatility for authenticity testing.

The genome and lifestage-specific transcriptomes of a plant-parasitic nematode and its host reveal susceptibility genes involved in trans-kingdom synthesis of vitamin B.

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.

Genome expression dynamics reveals parasitism regulatory landscape of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita and a promoter motif associated with effector genes

The paper analyzes the spatio-temporal gene expression of Meloidogyne incognita across its life stages and identifies a conserved promoter motif associated with effector genes.
