Plant Biology, EarlyView.Meloidogyne incognita impairs eggplant growth through gall formation with changes in root cell wall components and vascular tissue disruption, while the biocontrol agent Purpureocillium lilacinum mitigates these effects by reducing nematode infection. Abstract Meloidogyne spp. induce structural changes during the development of root‐knot galls, leading

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.Glutathione shapes interactions between Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) and amphibian hosts. In Bd, glutathione reductase is essential for survival, and exogenous glutathione enhances zoospore release. In host cells, Bd infection depletes glutathione and increases oxidative stress.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3603-3612, April 2026.The flea beetle's glucosinolate‐based chemical defense fails to protect larvae from nematode infection. However, the defense inhibits the nematode's symbiotic bacteria, thereby potentially impairing nematode reproduction and biocontrol success. Abstract BACKGROUND The efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the biological control of insect ...
