AbstractPlant parasitic nematodes cause an estimated US$80 to 157 billion in annual crop losses worldwide. The most economically important plant parasitic nematodes include root-knot nematodes from the genus Meloidogyne and cyst nematodes of the genera Heterodera and Globodera. Both root-knot nematodes and cyst nematodes, as sedentary endoparasites, penetrate the host root to establish a feeding site (a giant cell or syncytium), where they settle down and feed through subsequent sedentary life stages.
