The development of nematode feeding sites induced by root-knot nematodes involves the synchronized activation of cell cycle processes such as acytokinetic mitoses and DNA amplification. A number of key cell cycle genes are reported to be critical for nematode feeding site development. However, it remains unknown whether plant cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors such as the Arabidopsis interactor/inhibitor ...
Plant-parasitic nematodes of the genera Meloidogyne trigger the formation of giant cells that undergo recurring acytokinetic mitosis and endocycles. Expression analyses of key cell cycle genes showed their early induction in the nematode feeding site (NFS). Additionally, disturbance in NFS development and juvenile maturation were observed during treatment of infected roots with cell cycle inhibitors. Intense DN...
The pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is responsiblefor pine wilt disease (PWD), a serious disease of forest tree species, in particular among the genus Pinus. It has been designated as a quarantine species in Europe (Directive 77/93 EEC). The first external symptomsare the yellowing and wilting of the needles, leading to death of the tree in case of heavy attack. The nematode is native to No...
