Study of Tomato Genes Affected by Infection with the Nematode Meloidogyne Incognita

  • Chapter
Mechanisms of Plant Defense Responses

Part of the book series: Developments in Plant Pathology ((DIPP,volume 2))

Abstract

In a compatible interaction, root knot nematodes (Meloidogyne) induce the development of galls containing several giant cells. To study host responses after nematode infection, tomato genes (Lemmi genes) from which the expression is altered in infected roots were isolated and characterised. In addition, one nematode gene that is highly expressed in parasitic females has been identified.
