A Root-Knot Nematode Secretory Peptide Functions as a Ligand for a Plant Transcription Factor

Parasitism genes expressed in the esophageal gland cells of root-knot nematodes encode proteins that are secreted into host root cells to transform the recipient cells into enlarged multinucleate feeding cells called giant-cells. Expression of a root-knot nematode parasitism gene which encodes a nov...
