Plant ectoparasitic nematodes prefer roots without their microbial enemies [PDF]
, 2009 Root-feeding nematodes are major soil-borne pests in agriculture. In natural ecosystems, their abundance can be strongly controlled by natural enemies.

Gene induction during plant-microbe interactions : the role of chitinases during fungal infection and the investigation of mycorrhiza-induced genes in the model plant "M. truncatula" [PDF]
, 2007 In this thesis, the model legume Medicago truncatula was used for research on plant-microbe interactions. Unlike most other plants, legumes are able to form two distinct root symbioses. Together with soil-borne fungi of the Glomeromycota, they form the

Swarming Behavior in Plant Roots
PLoS ONE, 2012 Interactions between individuals that are guided by simple rules can generate swarming behavior. Swarming behavior has been observed in many groups of organisms, including humans, and recent research has revealed that plants also demonstrate social behavior based on mutual interaction with other individuals.

The importance of sucrose synthase for AM symbiosis in maize, in pea and in Medicago [PDF]
, 2002 The arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) is probably the most widespread symbiotic associations on earth, occurring in the roots of about 90 % of the land plant species. The fungal partners are soil-borne fungi of the order Glomales in the phylum of Glomero.

Microorganisms and nematodes increase levels of secondary metabolites in roots and root exudates of Plantago lanceolata [PDF]
, 2009 Plant secondary metabolites play an important role in constitutive and inducible direct defense of plants against their natural enemies. While induction of defense by aboveground pathogens and herbivores is well-studied, induction by belowground ...

Protocol for characterizing strigolactones released by plant roots. [PDF]
STAR Protoc, 2022 The plant hormone strigolactones (SLs) are secreted by plant roots to act as rhizospheric signals. Here, we present a protocol for characterizing plant-released SLs.

Effect of Pruning Young Branches on Fruit and Seed Set in Cassava
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Flowering in cassava is closely linked with branching. Early-flowering genotypes branch low and abundantly. Although farmers prefer late flowering genotypes because of their erect plant architecture, their usefulness as progenitors in breeding is limited

The beet cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii modulates the expression of WRKY transcription factors in syncytia to favour its development in a Arabidopsis roots [PDF]
, 2014 Cyst nematodes invade the roots of their host plants as second stage juveniles and induce a syncytium which is the only source of nutrients throughout their life.
