Plant-parasitic nematodes are major agricultural pests worldwide and novel approaches to
control them are sorely needed. We report the draft genome sequence of the root-knot …

Root‐knot nematodes ( RKN s) Meloidogyne spp. cause major damage to cultivated woody
plants. Among them, Prunus, grapevine and coffee are the crops most infested by worldwide …

The Ma gene from Myrobalan plum is a TNL gene that confers a high-level resistance to all
root-knot nematodes of major economic importance, including Meloidogyne incognita, M. …

Root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne species are major polyphagous pests of most
crops worldwide, and cultivars with durable resistance are urgently needed because of …

The NLRs or NBS-LRRs (nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich-repeat) form the largest resistance
gene family in plants, with lineage-specific contingents of TNL, CNL and RNL subfamilies …

Plants trigger appropriate defense responses, notably, through intracellular nucleotide-binding
(NB) and leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-containing receptors (NLRs) that detect secreted …

Background Muscadine (Muscadinia rotundifolia) is known as a resistance source to many
pests and diseases in grapevine. The genetics of its resistance to two major grapevine pests, …

Resistant rootstocks offer an alternative to pesticides for the control of soil pests. In Prunus
spp., resistance loci to root-knot nematodes (RKN) have been mapped and a transformation …

The soil-borne nematode Xiphinema index is closely linked to its main host, the grapevine,
and presents a major threat to vineyards worldwide due to its ability to transmit Grapevine …

Background Plants develop sustainable defence responses to pathogen attacks through
resistance (R) genes contributing to effector-triggered immunity (ETI). TIR-NB-LRR genes (TNL …
