A Distinct Role of Pectate Lyases in the Formation of Feeding Structures Induced by Cyst and Root-Knot Nematodes
Pectin in the primary plant cell wall is thought to be responsible for its porosity, charge density, and microfibril spacing and is the main component of the middle lamella. Plant-parasitic nematodes secrete cell wall–degrading enzymes that macerate the plant tissue, facilitating the penetration and...
