Abstract excerpt
The control of plant parasitic nematodes is an increasing problem. A key process during the infection is the induction of specialized nourishing cells, called giant cells (GCs), in roots. Understanding the function of genes required for GC development is crucial to identify targets for new control strategies. We propose a standardized method for GC phenotyping in different plant genotypes, like those with...
