Background: Meloidogyne incognita is one of the most important plant-parasitic nematodes and causes tremendous losses to the agricultural economy. Light is an important living factor for plants and pathogenic organisms, and sufficient light promotes root-knot nematode infection, but the underlying mechanism is still unclear.
Results: Expression level and genetic analyses revealed that the photoreceptor genes PHY, CRY, and PHOT have a negative impact on nematode infection. Interestingly, ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL5 (HY5), a downstream gene involved in the regulation of light signaling, is associated with photoreceptor-mediated negative regulation of root-knot nematode resistance. ChIP and yeast one-hybrid assays supported that HY5 participates in plant-to-root-knot nematode responses by directly binding to the SWEET negative regulatory factors involved in root-knot nematode resistance.
Conclusions: This study elucidates the important role of light signaling pathways in plant resistance to nematodes, providing a new perspective for RKN resistance research.

Root-knot nematodes (RKNs), particularly , are one of the most destructive plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) affecting crop production worldwide. Previous earlier study revealed that calcinated oyster shell powder (OSP) possessed excellent suppression of tobacco RKN disease. However, the suppression mechanism of OSP against RKNs still remains unrevealed.

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.

, or tree houseleek (), is a bushy, perennial succulent and a popular ornamental plant in regions such as California, New Zealand, Australia, Sicily, Gibraltar, and Chile. It features rosettes of soft, waxy leaves at the tips of sparsely branched or occasionally single, bare stems. It is drought-tolerant and has a variety of colors and forms, making it a popular ornamental plant.

Fluensulfone is the active ingredient of the non-fumigant nematicide Nimitz. It is much less harmful to the environment and has much improved worker safety compared to broad-spectrum fumigant nematicides. The product is registered for use in a variety of crops, including fruiting vegetables, and is applied to soil 7-14 days before seeding or planting.

Understanding the chemotactic crosstalk between rice and root-knot nematodes is essential for developing sustainable pest management strategies. Rice plants release chemicals that can modulate the behavior of the rice root-knot nematode , a major plant-parasitic nematode. In this study, two rice cultivars, Pusa Basmati 1121 (nematode-susceptible) and Kalo Bhutia 213 (highly nematode-resistant), were used to collect metabolites released from rice roots, and their role in influencing rice- interactions was studied.
