Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...

Fungal disease management in cotton using plant protection products: An Australian perspective
Cotton disease management requires evidence‐driven use of plant protection products. Progress hinges on integrating chemistry, diagnostics, stewardship and sustainability to build resilient production systems. Abstract Cotton production faces persistent challenges from pathogens that compromise plant establishment, yield, and fibre quality.

Bioinformatic and functional characterisation of Globodera pallida effector genes [PDF]
Pathogens secrete molecules, termed effectors, to manipulate their host to the benefit of the pathogen. Effectors of plant parasitic nematodes are predicted to have a range of functions such as facilitating invasion, initiation and maintenance of the ...

Identification of quantitative trait loci for resistance to two species of root-lesion nematode (Pratylenchus thornei and P. neglectus) in wheat [PDF]
Pratylenchus thornei and P. neglectus are two species of root-lesion nematode that cause substantial yield losses in wheat. No commercially available wheat variety has resistance to both species.

Effect of herbicides on Pratylenchus brachyurus in conventional and transgenic soybean cultivars
The root lesion nematode (Pratylenchus brachyurus) is a major constraint in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) production in Brazil’s Midwest, where it causes significant yield losses.

Resistance to Plant-Parasitic Nematodes in Chickpea: Current Status and Future Perspectives
Plant-parasitic nematodes constrain chickpea (Cicer arietinum) production, with annual yield losses estimated to be 14% of total global production. Nematode species causing significant economic damage in chickpea include root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne ...

Cross‐kingdom communication between plants and parasitic nematodes
Cross‐kingdom communication between plants and parasitic nematodes. Summary Plant‐parasitic nematodes and their hosts engage in a continuous exchange of signals cross‐kingdom. On the one hand, parasites exploit host‐derived metabolites, proteins, and RNAs to sense host identity, proximity, and condition – and as a basis for manipulating host processes ...
