PLANT-PARASITIC PLANT-NEMATODE INTERACTIONS AND THEIR BIODIVERSITY: FROM THE FIELD TO THE MOLECULE
- This line aims to understand how nematodes parasitize plants from a phenological point of view to the defensive response or susceptibility of the plant in order to find new control methods. Several aspects are being studied with greater specificity at IAS-CSIC:
- Biodiversity of nematofauna in olive, peach and almond orchards and its relationship with agronomic, environmental and edaphic factors.
- The study of pathogenicity and survival factors in some species such as Bursaphelenchus xylophilus and Globodera pallida.
- The defensive response of some crops and its relationship to resistance to other diseases when co-infected by nematodes.
- The relationship of nematode endosymbionts to their pathogenicity and survival.
