Identification and characterization of the first pectin methylesterase gene discovered in the root lesion nematode Pratylenchus penetrans.
Similar to other plant-parasitic nematodes, root lesion nematodes possess an array of enzymes that are involved in the degradation of the plant cell wall. Here we report the identification of a gene encoding a cell wall-degrading enzyme, pectin methylesterase PME (EC 3.1.1.11), in the root lesion ne...
