Exposure of Arabidopsis plants that were maintained under low light (200 mumol photons m-2 sec-1) to excess (2000 for 1 hr caused reversible photoinhibition photosynthesis. Measurements photosynthetic parameters and the use electron transport inhibitors indicated a novel signal transduction pathway was initiated at plastoquinone regulated, least in part, by redox status pool. This signal, which preceded photooxidative burst hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) associated with photosynthesis, resulted...

Root-knot nematodes differentiate highly specialized feeding cells in roots (giant cells, GCs), through poorly characterized mechanisms that include extensive transcriptional changes. While global transcriptome analyses have used galls, which are complex root structures GCs and surrounding tissues, no gene expression changes specific to been described. We report on the differential of versus vascular induced Arabidopsis by Meloidogyne javanica at a very early stage their development, 3 days...

Summary Root‐knot nematodes ( RKN s) induce giant cells GC from root vascular inside the galls. Accompanying molecular changes as a function of infection time and across different species, their functional impact, are still poorly understood. Thus, transcriptomes tomato galls laser capture microdissected LCM ) s over course parasitism were compared with those Arabidopsis, analysis repressed gene was performed. Microarray hybridization RNA s, infection–reproduction tests quantitative reverse...

Summary Root‐knot nematodes ( RKN s) induce inside the vascular cylinder giant cells GC embedded in galls. The distinctive gene repression early‐developing s could be facilitated by small RNA sRNA ) such as mi s, and/or epigenetic mechanisms mediated 24nt‐ rasi and 21‐22nt‐ s. Therefore, ‐population together with role of miR390/ TAS 3/ ARF module were studied during early gall/ formation. Three libraries from 3‐d‐post‐inoculation (dpi) galls induced Meloidogyne javanica Arabidopsis three...

The establishment of galls and syncytia as feeding sites induced by root-knot cyst nematodes, respectively, involves a progressive increase in nuclear cellular size. Here we describe the functional characterization endocycle activators CCS52A, CCS52B repressor endocycle, DEL1, during two types nematode site development Arabidopsis thaliana. In situ hybridization analysis showed that expression CCS52A1 was strongly DEL1 stably but weakly expressed throughout development. Down-regulation...

Summary Root knot nematodes ( RKN ) are root parasites that induce the genetic reprogramming of vascular cells into giant feeding and development galls. Micro RNA s (miRNAs) regulate gene expression during plant responses to various stresses. Disruption post‐transcriptional silencing in Arabidopsis ago1 or ago2 mutants decrease infection rate suggesting a role for this mechanism plant‐nematode interaction. By sequencing small from uninfected roots galls 7 14 d post with Meloidogyne incognita...

Abstract Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) are obligate endoparasites that feed on their host plants to complete its life cycle, representing a major threat agriculture and economy worldwide. The development of new management strategies becomes essential as effective chemical nematicides progressively being restricted. Hence, we analysed grape pomace-derived biochars, pyrolysed at 350 °C (BC350) 700 (BC700), focusing potential for RKN control. thermal treatment pomace caused an increase in the...

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs, Meloidogyne spp.) are obligate plant parasites that constitute a significant pest for agriculture worldwide. They penetrate the roots, reducing uptake of water and nutrients, causing impact on crop yield. One alternative focus now nematode management is biological control. Rhizobacteria within Bacillus genus show multiple modes action against plant-parasitic (PPNs) can act alone or in combination. In this context, we evaluated dual-strain bacteria combination ( B....
