Plant nematodes are devastating pests and cause considerable yield losses in many crop plants. A large part of this damage is inflicted by the sedentary endoparasite nematodes, which include two major groups commonly known as a cyst (Heterodera spp, Globodera spp) and root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp). Plant nematodes induce highly specialized feeding sites inside the roots of their host that, once established, support the growth and development of the parasite throughout their longer-term interaction. They share a sedentary lifestyle and induce feeding cells intimately associated with plant vascular tissue.
Lifeasible makes full use of our specialized libraries, selection strategies, and maturation techniques to analyze feeding sites and host penetration of plant nematodes. With advanced technology and experienced staff, we provide comprehensive services for global clients to support their research.
