Abstract |
Root-knot nematodes cause billions of dollars in crop losses annually have a broad range of host over 2,000 species of plants. These nematodes are known as obligate, sedentary endo-parasites in a plant host to feed upon to complete their life cycle. To prevent the plant parasitic nematode, methyl bromide was widely applied as a soil fumigant. Other strategies to prevent or control nematodes involve RNAi-mediated suppression, R gene transformation, natural products or chemical treatments, the expression of peptide or proteins in susceptible plants, and others. Over the last decade, the entry in GenBank for Meloidogyne reveals 73,340 ESTs and recently two complete Meloidogyne spp. genomes sequences have simultaneously been presented by two groups. Recent works have demonstrated the effect of RNAi suppression to nematode target genes. These results will provide novel members of genes as a foundation for studies focused on understanding the function of M. incognita nematode genes as well as for the development of novel target genes for parasite control. Thus the successful development of biotechnology-derived plants with nematode resistance will result in large yield benefits for producers as well as environmental benefits and will accelerate the research related to pathogens-resistant crops. |
