Springer Cell Biology of Plant Nematode Parasitism - Vol 15

Plant-parasitic nematodes represent some of the most destructive pathogens in agriculture, leading to massive losses for crops globally. This scientific text from Springer provides a current review of research focused on two major pests: root-knot and cyst nematodes. Readers will gain a deep understanding of early plant-nematode interactions and the identification of specific proteins that help establish nematode feeding sites. The book details the biochemical and signaling pathways that drive the development of specialized feeding sites within the host. By examining the cellular and subcellular structures necessary for parasitism, this volume serves as a vital resource for those studying plant pathology and agricultural science. This edition is part of the Plant Cell Monographs series, offering specialized knowledge for researchers and medical healthcare practitioners working in related branches of pathology.
