Expression of a cystatin transgene in eggplant provides resistance to root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita
Root-knot nematodes (RKN) cause substantial yield decline in eggplant and sustainable management options to minimize crop damage due to nematodes are still limited. A number of genetic engineering strategies have been developed to disrupt the successful plant-nematode interactions. Among them, deliv...
