DESCRIPTION:Plant-parasitic nematodes cause agricultural losses exceeding 
 €100 billion annually. Among them\, the root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloido
 gyne incognita stands out as the most widespread and polyphagous obligate 
 asexual endoparasite. What distinguishes RKNs from many other plant pathog
 ens is their possession of specialized glands that secrete effector molecu
 les directly into host tissues. These effectors reprogram differentiated p
 lant cells into novel feeding structures\, known as giant cells\, which su
 stain nematode growth and reproduction. To address this challenge\, we dev
 eloped an integrated approach to functionally characterize RKN effectors a
 nd elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying suppression of plant immu
 nity. This work led to the identification of key host susceptibility genes
  that facilitate parasitism. In parallel\, we designed a systems-based man
 agement strategy that integrates multiple agroecological practices to cont
 rol RKN populations under real field conditions...
