Our research is focused on the compatible interaction of cyst nematodes with their hosts with the long-range goal of engineering novel plant resistances.

Our latest publication on a set of GATEWAY vectors to accelerate gene function analysis in soybean composite plants to rapidly screen transgenic roots and investigate subcellular localization, protein–protein interactions, and root-pathogen interactions.

Very excited to see my first first author paper published in @PNASNews . We found the first effector regulator in plant-parasitic nematodes! Congratulations to all authors and co first author @ClemPellegrin. https://t.co/QXvViTlJ64

@Fariba27209790 Yes, Nemacounter is trained to identify cysts by their characteristic shape and can identify cysts even in a sample that has some soil debris. One or two rounds of sucrose cleanup will help improve the recognition rate, but users can also manually correct misidentifications.

Thursday the 20th of February (15:00-16:15 CET) we'll organize the 2nd edition of our "Trends in Nematology" webinar series! As always, the webinar is free to attend.

The theme of this edition will be "Advances in Bio-informatics".

More info will follow very soon!

🚨 Editor’s Pick Alert - Margets et al uncover a key soybean cyst nematode effector, Cysteine Protease 1 (CPR1), which inhibits plant immunity and targets a mitochondrial enzyme in soybean roots. This joint effort opens the door to engineering decoy substrates to boost plant defenses against many plant pathogens 🌱🐛. Don’t miss our November issue now to learn about exciting discoveries in #MPMI:

.@B_Mol_'s 1st paper now in @PLOSPathogens

A predicted parasitic nematode effector set is:
1. Big, several hundred genes
2. Diverse, 391 families - some big, most very small
3. Tightly co-regulated
4. Approx. 50% conserved in last parasitic ancestor

When scouting for #SCN females, experts say #soybean #farmers should look where the pest could be introduced: field entryways, fence lines, where windblown soil accumulates, and areas with unexplained #yield loss, high pH or flooding. Learn more: https://t.co/aiEb11yPEM.

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

Includes the effector network, which we think is both beautiful and useful 😍
