The neurobiology and chemoreception in plant-parasitic nematodes

Comparative genomics of shared processes can provide insights into plant-parasitic nematode biology that would otherwise be intractable. Caenorhabditis elegans, together with the information and resources available for this model species, was used in Globodera pallida. This cyst nematode infects pot...

Description
Summary:Comparative genomics of shared processes can provide insights into plant-parasitic nematode biology that would otherwise be intractable. Caenorhabditis elegans, together with the information and resources available for this model species, was used in Globodera pallida. This cyst nematode infects potato plants and is considered an agricultural pest worldwide.
