Abstract
Root-knot and cyst nematodes cause severe damage to crops throughout the world. Genes conferring resistance against nematodes have been identified in many plant species and several of these have been, or soon will be, cloned. Nematode biotypes that can infect resistant plants have been identified. Investigation of cloned resistance genes and of virulent nematodes is likely to lead to improved host resistance.Mesh:
