Parasitic nematodes modulate PIN-mediated auxin transport to facilitate infection.

Parasitic nematodes modulate PIN-mediated auxin transport to facilitate infection.

Plant-parasitic nematodes are destructive plant pathogens that cause significant yield losses. They induce highly specialized feeding sites (NFS) in infected plant roots from which they withdraw nutrients. In order to establish these NFS, it is thought that the nematodes manipulate the molecular and...
