Abstract excerpt
Sedentary endoparasitic nematodes of plants are obligate parasites of roots in which they complete their sophisticated life cycle. To study the plant/root-knot nematode interaction, a screening was performed for mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana that were less susceptible to nematode infection. Ethyl methanesulfonate-mutagenized A. thaliana M2 seeds (13,000) were germinated and the seedlings were screened in vitro...
