Horizontal Gene Transfer in Nematodes: A Catalyst for Plant Parasitism?

The origin of plant parasitism within the phylum Nematoda is intriguing. The ability to parasitize plants has originated independently at least three times during nematode evolution and, as more molecular data has emerged, it has become clear that multiple instances of horizontal gene transfer (HGT)...
