Abstract excerpt
The potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida is a serious pest of potato crops. Nematode FMRFamide-like peptides (FLPs) are one of the most diverse neuropeptide families known, and modulate sensory and motor functions. As neuromuscular function is a well-established target for parasite control, par...
