Plant growth-promoting bacteria as biological control agents for sustainable agriculture: targeting root-knot nematodes.

The increasing frequency of extreme weather events affects ecosystems and threatens food production. The reduction of chemical pesticides, together with other ecological approaches, is crucial to more sustainable agriculture. Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN), especially root-knot nematodes (RKN), spp.

Molecular insights into Solanum sisymbriifolium's resistance against Globodera pallida via RNA-seq.

Background: The presence of potato cyst nematodes (PCN) causes a significant risk to potato crops globally, leading to reduced yields and economic losses. While the plant Solanum sisymbriifolium is known for its resistance to PCN and can be used as a trap crop, the molecular mechanisms behind this resistance remain poorly understood. In this study, genes differentially expressed were identified in control and infected plants during the early stages of the S.

causes significant yield losses in many crops and the chemical control measures currently used are less effective for this nematode. The activity of aqueous extracts (0.8 mg/mL) of one-month-old (R1M) and two-months-old roots and immature fruits (F) of (Sl) and cv.

Solanum linnaeanum and Solanum sisymbriifolium as a sustainable strategy for the management of Meloidogyne chitwoodi.

Root-knot nematodes (RKN), Meloidogyne spp., are important crop pests that cause severe losses in crop production worldwide, reducing both productivity and crop quality. Meloidogyne chitwoodi Golden, O'Bannon, Santo & Finley, 1980 is considered a quarantine organism by the European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization (EPPO) causing damage in tomato and potato crops.
